GUARDING THE SKIES

Shenyang airport's team behind the lights

As night falls over Shenyang Taoxian International Airport, its airfield lighting system guides aircraft takeoff and landing, backed by the 24/7 dedication of the Ruijie Chuangxin Team from the Airfield Lighting Supporting Office. Dubbed the "guardians of the airport's eyes", the team stands firm at their posts, wielding professional skills to ensure the safety of flight operations.

Airfield lighting is the "lifeline" for aircraft movements. The team undertakes a full range of tasks including inspection, maintenance, emergency repairs and upgrades of runways, taxiways, lighting systems and signage. Operating on round-the-clock standby, the team adheres to a "second-level response and minute-level disposal" principle to ensure uninterrupted facility performance.
