Introduction: Ensuring Safety with Airport Lightning Protection
Lightning Protection for Airports involves the installation of systems and technologies designed to safeguard airport infrastructure, aircraft, and personnel from the damaging effects of lightning strikes. Airports are critical infrastructure that require robust protection against various threats, including lightning strikes. With passenger safety, asset protection, and operational efficiency at stake, it’s essential to ensure airports are fully equipped to withstand the damaging effects of lightning. At TAKO, since 1979, we have specialized in lightning protection for airports, providing tailored solutions to safeguard these essential facilities.
The Importance of Lightning Protection for Airports
Airports are vast complexes filled with sensitive electronic systems, fuel storage, and high-traffic areas, making them highly vulnerable to lightning strikes. A direct strike or surge caused by lightning can lead to flight delays, power outages, and equipment failures. By implementing a comprehensive lightning protection system, airports can prevent costly disruptions and ensure the safety of both passengers and airport assets.

The Consequences of Lightning Strikes on Airports and Aviation Infrastructure
- Operational Disruptions: Lightning can cause flight delays and cancellations, leading to financial losses and passenger inconvenience.
- Equipment Damage: Critical systems like radar and communication equipment, as well as aircraft and infrastructure, can be damaged, resulting in costly repairs.
- Data Loss: Electrical surges may damage control systems and cause loss of vital data, affecting air traffic management.
- Safety Risks: Lightning poses a threat to aircraft during takeoff and landing, as well as to ground personnel and passengers.

Comprehensive Lightning Risk Assessment for Airports
Every airport has different vulnerabilities when it comes to lightning. That’s why TAKO conducts a comprehensive lightning risk assessment in accordance with international standards such as the MS IEC 62305. This assessment evaluates the risk level based on factors like airport location, structure design, and electronic system sensitivity. Once assessed, TAKO customizes a lightning protection solution to ensure maximum safety and compliance with relevant regulations.
Protecting Airport Structures and Electronics from Lightning Damage
Airports rely heavily on electronics, from runway lighting to communication towers. Lightning strikes can cause surges that damage these systems, leading to expensive repairs and downtime. TAKO’s lightning protection systems include surge protection devices, grounding systems, and air terminals designed to prevent lightning damage. These measures ensure the safety of both the airport’s infrastructure and the passengers relying on these systems for safe travel.
