Northlane Solutions (NLS) is a Saudi registered aviation infrastructure company headquartered in Khobar, with an international office in the United Kingdom. NLS designs, supplies, installs, commissions and maintains helipads, heliports, airfield ground lighting and obstruction lighting to ICAO Annex 14 and GACAR standards across Saudi Arabia.

An aviation infrastructure project usually touches design compliance, equipment sourcing, civil works, electrical installation, commissioning and years of ongoing maintenance, and each stage tends to sit with a different party. NLS runs all of it from one desk. A helipad or an airfield lighting scheme is designed against the governing standard, sourced from vetted international OEMs, installed and commissioned by our own teams, and kept operational under a maintenance programme afterward, with pricing quoted in USD for imported equipment and SAR for local delivery to match how Saudi contracts settle. Northlane Solutions is Saudi registered, headquartered in Khobar with an international office in the United Kingdom serving clients across the UK, Europe and North America. NLS has delivered cable packages for Saudi Aramco projects, supplies airfield and obstruction lighting across the Kingdom, and supports hospital and aviation infrastructure work with equipment sourced against strict specification. Every scope of work is aligned with Saudi Vision 2030's push to build out the Kingdom's aviation and logistics capacity.

What we supply

All services

Helipad & Heliport Solutions

01

Helipad & Heliport Solutions

Northlane Solutions delivers helipads and heliports end to end: design, civil works, marking, lighting, firefighting and GACA approval support, then ongoing maintenance. NLS designs and supplies for hospital rooftops, ground level pads and offshore helidecks across Saudi Arabia, working to ICAO Annex 14 Volume II, FAA AC 150/5390-2 and CAP 437 for helideck projects.

Airfield Ground Lighting

02

Airfield Ground Lighting

Northlane Solutions supplies and installs runway edge lights, threshold lights, taxiway lighting, PAPI systems, approach lighting and airfield guidance signs for Saudi airports and airfields, engineered to ICAO Annex 14 Volume I and FAA AC 150/5340-30 with photometrics and layout matched to the runway category and approach type of each site.

AGL Control & Monitoring

03

AGL Control & Monitoring

Northlane Solutions supplies constant current regulators, ALCMS and ILCMS control platforms, series isolation transformers, L-824 airfield cable and L-823 connector kits that make airfield ground lighting operate as one coordinated system rather than independent fixtures, engineered so a single fitting failure never brings down a circuit.

Obstruction Lighting

04

Obstruction Lighting

Northlane Solutions supplies low, medium and high intensity obstruction lights, solar powered units, monitoring systems and aircraft warning spheres for towers, cranes, buildings, stacks and offshore structures across Saudi Arabia, selected by structure height and location in accordance with ICAO Annex 14 obstacle marking and lighting requirements.

Runway & Apron Services

05

Runway & Apron Services

Northlane Solutions provides runway rubber removal, runway and taxiway apron marking, airfield marking materials and airfield civil works for Saudi airports, restoring surface friction and repainting markings to ICAO Annex 14 standards without the extended runway closures a full resurfacing project would require.

Wind Indicator Systems

06

Wind Indicator Systems

Northlane Solutions supplies illuminated wind cones, solar powered wind cones, heliport wind cones and frangible masts for Saudi airfields and helipads, sized and positioned in accordance with ICAO Annex 14 so wind direction and an approximate strength reading remain visible to pilots at every stage of approach and landing.

Surface Friction Testing

07

Surface Friction Testing

Northlane Solutions provides continuous friction measuring equipment and runway and heliport friction testing services for Saudi airfields, generating the objective friction data a pavement maintenance programme needs to decide whether rubber removal, resurfacing or other pavement maintenance is actually needed before it becomes a safety issue.

Maintenance & Support

08

Maintenance & Support

Northlane Solutions provides preventive and corrective maintenance contracts, spare parts and photometric testing for airfield ground lighting, obstruction lighting and heliport systems across Saudi Arabia, keeping installed equipment within its certified performance between inspections rather than waiting for a failure or an audit to reveal a problem.

Aircraft MRO Components

09

Aircraft MRO Components

Northlane Solutions supports availability and sourcing of components for military transport aircraft and their engines, covering airframe hardware, consumables, avionics instruments and AOG parts. NLS works from documented requirements to help operators locate, verify and secure the parts a maintenance program needs, including urgent aircraft on ground situations.

Aircraft Arresting Systems

10

Aircraft Arresting Systems

Northlane Solutions supplies spares and support for aircraft arresting systems used at military air bases in Saudi Arabia, including barrier nets and stanchion hardware. NLS works from the system's documented specification to source and verify the components a maintenance program requires, before a quotation is issued.

Ground Support Equipment

11

Ground Support Equipment

Northlane Solutions supplies ground support equipment for aviation operations in Saudi Arabia, including ground power units, aircraft tugs and towbars, passenger boarding stairs and aircraft maintenance platforms. NLS sources this equipment against the aircraft types and operational requirement of each site, as a supply capability across airports and aviation facilities.

Vertiports & Advanced Air Mobility

12

Vertiports & Advanced Air Mobility

Northlane Solutions is building planning, lighting and ground infrastructure capability for vertiports and advanced air mobility in Saudi Arabia, ahead of eVTOL operations reaching commercial scale. Regulatory guidance from GACA and ICAO for vertiports is still maturing, and NLS designs conservatively against existing heliport and airfield standards until dedicated vertiport rules are finalized.

Why NLS

Why work with us

Standards-driven engineering

Every helipad, heliport and lighting scheme is designed and specified against ICAO Annex 14, the applicable FAA advisory circular and GACAR Part 138 and 139, not adapted after the fact.

One desk, design through maintenance

Design review, sourcing, installation, commissioning and maintenance are handled by one team, with pricing in USD for imported equipment and SAR for local delivery.

24/7 maintenance and support

Airfield lighting and helipad systems are safety equipment, so support runs around the clock rather than during office hours only.

Turnkey delivery with authority approvals

Documentation and submittals are prepared alongside the physical work, so the project reaches GACA and Civil Defence approval as part of delivery, not as an afterthought.

Registered with Saudi Aramco and SAP Ariba

Northlane Solutions is a registered supplier with Saudi Aramco and is registered on the SAP Ariba network, meeting the vendor registration and documentation standards those platforms require.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Northlane Solutions actually do?+

NLS designs, supplies, installs, commissions and maintains aviation infrastructure in Saudi Arabia, including helipads, heliports, airfield ground lighting and obstruction lighting, delivered as one turnkey scope rather than split across separate contractors.

Do you handle GACA approvals?+

Design and installation work is carried out to GACAR Part 138 and 139 and the documentation the approval process requires is prepared as part of delivery. Final GACA approval sits with the operating authority, and NLS supports the submission package.

Which standards does NLS work to?+

ICAO Annex 14 Volumes I and II, the applicable FAA advisory circular, GACAR Part 138 and 139, CAP 437 for helidecks, ICAO Doc 9261 and NFPA 418, matched to the specific standard the project's authority requires.

Where in Saudi Arabia do you operate?+

Across the Kingdom from the Khobar headquarters, with project delivery covering the Eastern Province, Riyadh, the western region and giga-project sites, alongside an international office in the United Kingdom for UK, European and North American clients.

Do you offer maintenance contracts after installation?+

Yes. Airfield lighting and helipad systems are kept under a maintenance programme with 24/7 support, since this equipment is safety critical and cannot wait for a scheduled site visit.

In which currency do you price a project?+

Both. Imported equipment is normally priced in USD and local delivery, installation and maintenance in SAR, matching how Saudi contracts settle.
