- Bright airport refers to an airport that is well lit and has sufficient lighting infrastructure to ensure safe and clear visibility for aircraft and personnel. Bright airports typically have a well-designed lighting system that includes runway, taxiway, and apron lighting, as well as terminal and parking lot lighting. These airports prioritize safety and visibility, particularly during nighttime operations or low visibility conditions. The lighting at a bright airport helps pilots navigate the runways and taxiways, and provides clear visual cues to ground personnel for safe and efficient operations.
