Abstract: Device for determining the position of an aircraft (11) at an airport, includes a plurality of sensors (5) for detecting at least one radio signal originating from a vehicle (11), in which the plurality of sensors (5) are preferably positioned at regular intervals from one another on parts (2, 3) of the airport which are accessible to the vehicle (11). The present device is preferably used for detecting the position of an aircraft (11) on the runway system of an airport. The sensors (5) are preferably fitted in light positions of runway lighting provided at the airport on taxiways, take-off and landing runways (2, 3) and on plat-forms. The signal originating from a radio altimeter (12) of an aircraft (11) is preferably used as the radio signal.
