Vaisala, a global leader in weather, environmental, and
industrial measurements, has signed a contract with the Directorate
General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), a government entity managing
aviation services in the state of Kuwait, for airport surface
observation system and airport meteorological system to Kuwait
International Airport. The value of the contract is approximately
EUR 20 million, and it will be booked in Vaisala’s fourth quarter
orders received. The project is a part of an expansion and
modernization project of the airport, and it is planned to start in
February 2024 and be fully operational in 2025.
“This contract with DGCA for three runways at Kuwait
International Airport is the largest single airport instrumentation
contract for Vaisala ever. It includes the design, manufacturing,
delivery, installation, maintenance, technical support, and user
training,” said Jarkko Sairanen, Executive Vice
President, Weather and Environment, Vaisala. “Kuwait Meteorological
Department, which is part of DGCA, is our long-term customer in
aviation and sounding systems. Vaisala also delivered the existing
airport surface observation systems for the two current runways at
the airport, which will now be upgraded. In addition, Vaisala’s
sensor technology is widely used in synoptical measurements.”
Airports of all sizes in different locations rely on proven
regulatory weather observation, lightning detection, weather radar,
surface sensor, and display system solutions to improve safety,
decision-making, and efficiency. An airport benefits from a
state-of-the-art weather observation system based on accurate and
reliable observations by being able to prepare properly for
weather-related situations.
