Benefits of Backup Generators for Airports

Airports are a critical transport and logistics hub in the modern world, and we rely on them for everything from business and leisure travel to expedited cargo. The reliability and services of an airport set the standards for a city, and many run 24 hours a day, every day of the week, throughout the year. As a result, backup generators are non-negotiable for airports, ensuring sufficient power generation for seamless air travel services. Here are some insights from the CAT rental team. 

Backup Generators

What Happens if a Blackout Occurs and There’s No Backup Generator? 

Because airports operate 24/7, 365 days of the year, blackouts are inevitable – whether they are due to damage to infrastructure, flooding, maintenance on the grid, a blown connection at the airport or even wildfires. If this occurs and there is no working backup generator on-site, the consequences can be severe, even at smaller facilities. 

  • Outgoing flights will be canceled, leaving passengers and cargo stranded 
  • Incoming flights will be re-routed, disrupting travel plans and freight routes 
  • Airport systems for tracking and monitoring flights will be inoperable 
  • Security systems, including cameras and scanners, will be inoperable 
  • Communications systems will be offline, so pilots and airport personnel won’t receive critical information about weather, flight-related incidents, threats or law enforcement alerts 
  • The airport heating and cooling systems will shut down, causing temperatures to become too hot or too cold, and impacting on airflow and quality 

In such a critical hub, loss of power can be devastating, compromising safety and security, damaging the airport’s reputation and causing profit losses.

Tips for Storing Your Backup Generator

Backup generators  are very useful equipment for homes, businesses, and industrial sites, providing clean, reliable power when the grid isn’t available.
