Runway 18R
In
December 2004 runway 18R was notamed as being closed for 3 months due to resurfacing. It is almost December 2005, and to the best of my knowledge, 18R remains closed.
Can anyone with local knowledge explain why?
OK, post edited to reflect correct runway designation....I would still like to know why this runway remains closed. 18L is in a terrible state of repair (like the rest of the airport
), and is fairly short for a heavy jet under adverse conditions. Couple this with abysmal and disinterested ATC, and it does not surprise me that accidents continue to happen at this field. Even more surprising is the acceptance thereof, especially by local operators who one assumes have some influence?
