Aviation Infrastructure Services in Saudi Arabia
Helipad lighting, obstruction lighting, runway lighting, airside electrical distribution, backup power and maintenance
Why Aviation Facilities Need Specialized Infrastructure
Helipads, tall structures near flight paths, and airside facilities carry lighting and electrical requirements defined by international aviation standards, not ordinary building codes. Obstruction lighting has to meet ICAO intensity and placement guidance, and helipad lighting needs to perform reliably in all weather conditions pilots depend on.
We supply and install helipad lighting, tall-structure obstruction/warning lights, runway and taxiway edge lighting, and airside equipment — sourced to meet the aviation-specific standards these installations require, not repurposed commercial fixtures. Airside electrical and lighting circuits also fall under General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) oversight in Saudi Arabia, alongside the ICAO guidance the equipment itself is designed to.
What We Provide for Aviation Facilities
Helipad lighting
Helipad lighting that performs reliably in all the weather conditions pilots depend on.
Obstruction and warning lights
Obstruction and warning lights for tall structures, placed and rated to ICAO intensity and placement guidance.
Runway lighting system
Edge lighting for runways and taxiways, sourced to aviation-specific standards rather than repurposed commercial fixtures.
Airside electrical distribution
Reliable electrical distribution for airside facilities and support infrastructure.
Backup power for lighting circuits
Backup power for helipad and airside lighting circuits so obstruction and approach lighting stays lit through a utility outage.
Airside equipment supply
Supply of airside equipment sourced for aviation use.
Maintenance for Aviation Lighting
Helipad, obstruction and runway lights only do their job when they stay lit. We maintain them under the same three plan types we use for our other lighting work.
One-Time Maintenance
A single scheduled visit: inspection of the lighting, replacement of failed parts and a check of the control system. Suited to a one-off facility audit.
Preventive Maintenance
Scheduled inspections and replacement of drivers and fixtures, so failures are caught before they affect operations.
Corrective Maintenance
Repair when a light, driver or control fails. Our technicians diagnose the fault and fix it quickly.
Standards We Design Around
- ICAO Annex 14 guidance for obstruction lighting intensity and placement
- Helipad lighting standards for all-weather pilot visibility
- SASO — Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization requirements
- IEC 61439 and NFPA 70 for airside electrical distribution
- General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) oversight of airside electrical and lighting works in Saudi Arabia
Planning an Airport Upgrade?
Airport facilities cannot simply be switched off for a project. The consultancy looks at the systems that keep a terminal or airfield running and plans upgrades in stages that respect live operations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you supply obstruction and aviation warning lighting for tall buildings and helipads?
Yes — we design and install obstruction lighting for tall structures and helipads to ICAO obstruction lighting guidance, alongside our architectural and exterior lighting work.
Does Black Arrow supply backup power for helipad and airside lighting circuits?
Yes — we size and install UPS backup power for helipad and airside lighting circuits alongside the lighting and electrical distribution work itself, so obstruction and approach lighting stays lit through a utility outage rather than depending on mains power alone.
Do you maintain helipad, obstruction and runway lighting?
Yes. We offer one-time, preventive and corrective maintenance for aviation lighting: scheduled inspections, replacement of drivers and fixtures, and repair when a light or control fails.
Maintenance and support after handover
Our work does not end at commissioning. We keep your systems running with a maintenance plan built around your site.
1, 2 or 3-year maintenance contracts
Planned preventive maintenance visits, inspection and test reports, and recommendations, on a contract length that suits your site.
Emergency visits
Emergency call-outs are part of the maintenance contract and are handled with priority according to the criticality of your site.
One team for every system
We maintain every system we supply and install, and we can take over the maintenance of existing systems on your site.
Visit frequency, emergency arrangements and spare parts are agreed with each client based on the site and the systems covered.
