Zayed International Airport’s (AUH) Northern Runway (13L/31R) is now fully operational after reopening ahead of schedule following a rehabilitation and upgrade plan.

The project included reinforcing and resurfacing the runway with 210,000 tons of asphalt. Technical upgrades included a new ground visibility monitoring system and a high-tech Instrument Landing System (ILS), bolstering both the safety and efficiency of takeoff and landing operations during periods of inclement weather.

The upgrades also included the replacement of more than 1,200 energy-intensive halogen airfield lights with environmentally friendly LED technology.
