KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 26 – United States-based software solutions provider, Honeywell, has partnered Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Malaysia Airports Sdn Bhd (MASB), for a multi-million dollar airfield ground lighting control and monitoring system project.
Malaysia Airports Managing Director Datuk Badlisham Ghazali said the partnership would enhance the safety, capacity and efficiency of Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA)’s airside operations. “Honeywell’s technology will control and monitor airside systems, and provide real-time location information on lamp failures to enable faster response and repair – reducing risk and improving uptime.
“As the primary gateway to Malaysia, KLIA is a showcase of our ambition to grow as a nation. As we move closer to becoming a developed country, our airports should reflect high standards of safety and efficiency,” said Datuk Badlisham Ghazali, managing director, Malaysia Airports.
“In additional, our collaboration with Honeywell is in the line with our commitment to maintain the safety, improve efficiency, drive performance and reduce the operational expenses while we comply with the international regulatory standards,” he said in a statement.
The project is an upgrade of the airport operator’s existing work with Honeywell, which includes single-lamp control and monitoring for Runways 1 and 2, and the building management system at KLIA. It will position KLIA as one of the most technologically advanced airports in the world, with the capability to move toward the advanced ‘follow-the-green’ (A-SMGCS Level 4) technology.
