Krabi Airport’s runway cracked

A passenger using Facebook account, Atipoj Srisukhon, posted a picture of a cracked runway at Krabi International Airport, expressing the concern about the safety today (March 2). The damage is several metres wide but is limited to the extreme ends of the runway at both ends.

 

The Director of Krabi International Airport, Atthaporn Nuang-Udom, said that he acknowledged the matter and damage to the runway surface.

 

“I think the crack was caused by the heavy rain for the past few days and the spot is a place where planes usually turn off the runway onto the general arrival apron. It doesn’t disturb the take-off and landing of the planes as the cracks are at the end edge of the runway,” he said.

Cracking runways in the South

At least not that damaging like in Phuket just recently.

Built by Ital - Thai ?

That's some serious tarmac damage there. 

Who ever laid the original tarmac did a terrible job if it lifts like the photo shows. It look as thought it is not adhering to the sub surface or has been incorrectly laid.

 

The big problem is the debris getting sucked into the airplane engines and possible damage.

Heavy rain at Phuket Airport the last couple of days? Liar.

It has not rained in Krabi a long time already.

That’s a bit bigger than a crack! Having said that was a man who got his head stuck in his lady’s crack last week so which is bigger 

runway or hers

Can't be, they found no corpses during construction.

Very poor paving job by who ever did it. Hope the airport can get it repaired, for free. Ha , ha, what am I thinking, this is Thailand, and nothing is free.
