The Krabi airport management has notified its contractor to send a team of engineers to the airport for discussion on how to repair cracks on the runway on Monday (March 5).

 

Mr Atthaporn Nuang-udom, the airport director, said Friday that the repair work is expected to commence at midnight and to stop in the morning in order to cause the least flight disruptions.  He admitted that, for the time being, he could not say for sure when the repairs would be completed.

 

The airport director’s remark was in response to an image on the social posted by an “anonymous pilot” showing two cracks at both ends of the runway.

Who calls this cracks? Khun Atthaporn Nung-Udom,  the Airport Director? Just wanted to book flights for our family of three to Krabi. But this picture makes it an absolute No-go. All flights to Krabi should be suspended until the runway is completely repaired! As a member of a cockpit crew I would not agree to file a flight plan under such conditions. Blown tires could cause an aircraft to leave  the runway.
