M609; no, we only use the standard width taxiways, which at VST means the curved taxiway from the apron to the northern threshold.
Sallpilot; so, what other airline is responsible for runway maintenance? The fact that RYR pays lower landing charges than most operators is a failing of the negotiators in those other companies, not RYR - it's bad business to pay more than neccessary. Plenty of other aircraft use VST, we're hardly sole users. Your RYR bashing leads to an assumption of which competitor you may be working for. If that assumption is correct, shouldn't you be getting your own glass house in order before throwing stones at someone else's? Like getting some safe fuel and rostering policies?
Pitottube; that may be correct, but the area that gave way is not marked in any way or notam'd, so there is no information to the pilot that the surface is unsuitable.
