Â In BKI's case, I guess they have to close the airport between, let's say 2200-0600hrs, and repair the runway/taxiways at that time-bracket for a few weeks to complete re-surfacing works. Â At AMS, with 6 runways, you just close 1 runway for about 3-4 weeks in order to do the works, but with BKI's single runway, this is not possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Samuel Chy 0 Report post Posted June 22, 2010 if i not mistaken, pilot cannot use the thrust/engine power when stuck in pothole... because it can easily suck in some of the small stones by the engine... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
