Knowing the rate of atmospheric electrical activity is fundamentally relevant for human life and for infrastructures because these events cause major damages of different nature. In the case of country airports and aerodromes, it is of particular importance on the operation related to ramp closures on departing and arriving air traffic and ramp personnel operations in adverse weather conditions. In this paper we will present the AeroRayos project for the protection of workers at the Jorge Newbery Airpark (AEP) in the City of Buenos Aires, Argentina. We will present the results of the evaluation of the system in the last year, we will show a case study of a storm day at the airport and we will undertake a technological evaluation of it
