Thanks, OverRun, for this insight information.

I'm pretty sure that PCNs in Greece are not what they seem to be. You cannot compare it with Australia. These runways have been built in WW II and have sustained a long history. Everyday a swarm of Airbus' and Boeings land on them, and if there would be the slightest damage to them, they would immediatly start a no-fly. There is much politics in there.

Question:
Ruts happen on Asphalt? Can they also be created on concrete? I thought that concrete is not being bent but breaks. Most of Greece's island's runways are concrete.

If you look at i.e. WSSS you see ruts way above 1cm. But mainly on the taxiway. I thought that's mainly a temperature problem and not (only) a weight problem.
