“This upgrade to the ILS will improve safety and ensure that extended and uncontrolled outages are kept to a minimum in future,” said Airservices general manager technology and asset services Alastair Hodgson.
The upgrade at Cairns is part of an ongoing program to gradually upgrade or replace ILSs around Australia to ensure continued service provision until 2025.
