I seem to remember seeing a NOTAM concerning the weight limitation for KC 10 aircraft in one form or another for over a year now at ASI.

The question of what is allowed and what is not allowed into ASI is vague to say the very least. There has not been a new NOTAM published to provide any update on the deteriorating runway surface condition. ASI is used as an ETOPS alternate for a number of airlines (including the one I work for) flying to and from South America. A runway that is reported to have 'potholes' doesn't inspire confidence and also highlights a possible risk for damaging an aircraft as well as the runway.
