Mangalore International Airport Completes Full LED Lighting Upgrade
The airport has replaced its entire runway and terminal lighting with energy‑saving smart LED fixtures, marking a 100% LED milestone.
Mangalore International Airport in Karnataka has achieved a 100% LED lighting milestone by replacing all runway and terminal area illumination with advanced smart LED fixtures. The upgrade is part of a broader initiative to reduce fuel consumption and support environmental conservation at the airport.
The new LED system offers significant energy savings compared with the previous lighting infrastructure, lowering the airport's power demand and operational costs. Smart controls also allow for better light management, enhancing visibility for aircraft operations while minimizing light pollution.
Airport officials said the transition was completed without disrupting flight schedules, and the eco‑friendly technology aligns with India's push for greener aviation practices. The fully LED‑lit runway and terminals are expected to set a benchmark for other airports in the region.
The project underscores the airport's commitment to sustainable development and modernisation, reinforcing Mangalore's role as a key gateway in the state.
