MK Airlines: Halifax

I am disappointed that two-years later . . . the berms still exist at either end of this CAT-II runway. The ANS-provider has in fact installed similar berms at other airports in the country (identified in the TSB report). Apparently, the service provider continues to be unable to reconcile the cost of frangible structures and bases, versus the cheaper immovable objects. While it is only remotely possible that these structures could ever be the root-cause of an accident . . . guaranteed, they will be a topic for debate in future incidents.
