Responsibility for Airfield Power and Lighting is expected to transfer from Airways to Christchurch International Airport Limited (CIAL) over the coming year. These assets are critical to safe and reliable airfield operations, supporting aircraft movements during day, night, and low-visibility conditions.
CIAL is using this Registration of Interest to better understand the New Zealand supplier market and inform the most appropriate future delivery model for Airfield Power and Lighting maintenance, support, and associated equipment supply. This includes understanding supplier capability, local capacity, service maturity, and the extent to which an integrated or turnkey service model can be delivered in New Zealand.
Several inputs are still being confirmed, including asset information, condition data, lifecycle status, replacement priorities, and commercial considerations associated with the potential transfer of assets from Airways. As a result, this ROI is intended to support market engagement and procurement
