Q-AviationQ for Quality
A complete runway. Deployed in minutes.
Portable lighting is battery-powered aviation lighting that you place, switch on and remove again — without cables or civil works. Q-Aviation supplies portable runway lighting, portable airfield lighting and portable helipad lights: as single lights, in a charging case or as a complete trailer kit.
Portable airfield lighting is used wherever a runway or landing zone has to work tonight — not after weeks of installation.
Designed & tested to
Portable runway lighting marks a runway with the same signals as a fixed installation: white runway edge lights (with yellow for the caution zone), green threshold lights, red runway end lights and a portable PAPI for the approach path. The lights stand on the surface and run on their own batteries — no cabling, trenching or transformers.
A portable airfield lighting system is the lights plus everything that makes them work as one: a layout for your runway or landing zone, enough lights for the required spacing, batteries and charging, and transport and storage. The Q-Portable Runway Trailer Kit holds and charges 72 lights — enough for up to 3,500 m of temporary runway — operated by handheld remote or by hand. Smaller sets come in a charging case for up to 8 lights.
Tell us your runway dimensions and type of operation, and we advise the configuration — including control and approach guidance.
For temporary landing zones — field hospitals, events, emergency and construction sites — portable helipad lights outline the landing area: green perimeter (TLOF) lights, white FATO lights, and approach, aiming point and taxi lights where needed. Magnetic bases hold them in place on steel decks.
The difference with portable runway lighting: a helipad needs a compact, all-round outline of one landing area, while a runway needs lines of lights over hundreds of metres with threshold, end and approach guidance. For permanent sites, see our helipad lighting systems and helideck lighting systems.

FAQ

Battery-powered runway lights — edge, threshold and end lights, often with a portable PAPI — that are placed on the surface instead of being installed in it. They give a temporary runway the same visual signals as a fixed installation and can be removed when the operation ends.
For temporary or seasonal airstrips, during works on fixed runway lighting, for emergency, disaster relief and medevac operations, for military and expeditionary use, at remote sites without grid power, and as backup when fixed lighting fails.
The lights in the required colours, a layout for your runway, batteries and a charging solution, a way to switch the lights on and off (handheld remote or manual) and transport and storage — for example our trailer kit with 72 lights and an integrated charging system.
Yes, that is what they are designed for. Portable perimeter and FATO lights outline a temporary landing zone in minutes and can be combined with approach, aiming point and taxi lights. Check the required layout with the operator and your authority.
In minutes rather than days: there is no cabling, trenching or civil work. A team places the lights along the layout and switches them on by remote. The exact time depends on runway length and number of lights.
