Fascinating to hear about expansion of BHD!!!

I was with JEA until 1994. When I left to go to pastures greener, I sent in a voyage report about the state of the runway. Even then it could hardly handle the ever increasing thump of the 146. I can't imagine anyone took me seriously and upgraded the runway. After a couple of months of airbus landings ( which I seem to recall are double the weight of a 146) the runway will turn into a copy of the Thessalonika ramp - that is to say full of cracks and holes.

Anyone know if they've thought of that?
