Aviation Projects is providing support to Archerfield Airport Corporation in securing approval for, and delivering, Project AIM (Airside Infrastructure Modernisation).
The project comprises alterations to the main runway and upgrading of associated taxiways and other aviation infrastructure.
As set out in the Preliminary Draft Major Development Plan which has just been on public exhibition, a special lighting configuration has been designed at each runway end to enable starter extensions and therefore maximise the amount of runway available for take-off.
The current Manual of Standards Part 139 does not allow for starter extensions, so Aviation Projects prepared a safety case in support of an application to the Civil Aviation Safety Authority to proceed with the non-standard arrangement.
Archerfield Airport Corporation commends the professional management of Aviation Projects which has driven this project and ensured we continue to make steady, but substantial progress towards achieving our strategic goals. Thanks to this shared commitment, we look forward to an exciting new chapter of growth at Archerfield Airport.
