The A380 at MRW has an ACN on ultra low strength flexible pavement of 110, the 777-300ER is 132.
That means the A380-800 does not have a weight limit on this pavement, in fact it can go up over 600t before it would hit the PCN limit (A380-900).
Garbage!! 120 tonnes wont even allow an empty 777 operate from the airport.
Mutt
Jakarta has a ultra low strength subgrade with a flexible pavement with a PCN of 120. This would limit a 777-300ER to a taxi weight of 327t if they cannot get a concession. This means they would need to leave around 25t of payload behind.
Just need to go to visit Singapore and Bangkok to see how the 777 destroys flexible pavement.
