Sadly all local operators are very familiar with the runway state. Potholes have been there for quite a few years now. Pilots know where and when to dodge these wheel breakers! Despite the fees charged at the airport it’s been sadly neglected for many years with little improvement or safety done. And there has been a sudden burst of big, heavy planes trying to operate out of an airport that was never designed for them. Imagine an international airport handling schedules, jets and Medevacs having NO SIDs or STARs or instrument approaches. Did you also note the state of the parking areas????
