ALS (UK) Ltd is proud to announce the successful completion of a major runway lighting installation at Assomption Island Airport, a strategically significant and highly remote location in the Outer Islands of the Seychelles.
Assomption Island lies approximately 1,135 km south-west of Victoria, the Seychellois capital, and north of Madagascar. The island presents unique logistical and environmental challenges, requiring robust engineering solutions and careful project execution. The newly completed airfield lighting system was delivered for a high-profile private client, with the highest standards of performance, reliability, and discretion.
The scope of works included the supply and installation of a complete LED airfield lighting system, featuring:
- LED runway edge lighting
- Elevated runway lights
- Inset runway lights
- Threshold lighting
- Taxiway lighting
- Associated primary and secondary cabling
All equipment was selected to provide long service life, reduced maintenance requirements, and optimal visibility in tropical operating conditions.
The project also required detailed planning and coordination due to Assomption Island’s remote location and its strategic importance. Since 2018, the island has hosted a joint Seychelles–India military facility, making compliance, resilience, and operational integrity critical factors in the design and delivery of the system.
This installation further demonstrates ALS (UK) Ltd’s capability to deliver complex, high-value airfield lighting projects in challenging environments worldwide, supporting private, commercial, and strategic aviation operations.
