Kelowna International Airport (YLW) turned on a new LED airfield lighting system to increase safety for arriving aircraft, modernising ageing infrastructure and updating lighting on the runway, taxiway, approach, signage and all control systems.
The upgrade includes a brighter, more precise lighting that improves visibility for pilots during wildfire smoke and low‑visibility conditions, adds a new array of five flashing lights at each runway end that does not indicate an emergency, and was funded with an investment of over $9 million from airport revenues and reserves without tax impact to the public.
