Happened at Tirana too in the 90’s where the hexagonal blocks laid by the Chinese contractor lifted and exposed loose stones.
This was especially the case at the takeoff point and turnoffs. The taxiways were dreadful with pot holes filled with stones.
People continued to operate - one lot sent in BA-146 instead of MD-80 due to the engine positioning...
