Waterford Aviation has provided an update on works at the airport
A “major operation” is underway to remove hundreds of lights at Waterford Airport.
Waterford Aviation, an indepedent social media page run by local people in the aviation industry, has provided an update on works at the airport.
In a post on Facebook, it highlighted the work being undertaken to remove the lighting fittings from the airfield.
The post read: “Lights out — construction moving full speed ahead!
“The next phase of works is underway, and it’s time to remove more than 250 airfield lighting fittings from across the airfield.
“It’s a major operation and another important milestone as we prepare the airfield for the next stage of construction.
“250+ fittings. One big job. Another step forward.”
A number of photos were attached to the post showing workers removing the fittings from the airfield.
Work has been underway for several months now on Waterford Airport’s redevelopment.
As part of the project, the airport’s runway will be lengthened to 2,287 metres and widened to 45 metres to accommodate larger commercial jet aircraft.
