The Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand (CAAT) demanded an explanation from Airports of Thailand (AOT) after a China Airlines flight got stuck on a Suvarnabhumi runway due to heavy rain and groundwater.
CAAT urged AOT to implement technology for structural integrity testing across runways and taxiways, advocating for proactive maintenance to prevent future incidents.
AOT acknowledged that Suvarnabhumi's 20-year-old runway, built on soft soil with high water content, is structurally affected by continuous aircraft weight and heavy rainfall.
AOT committed to targeted runway maintenance during off-peak hours (10 days, 8 pm-6 am) to avoid full closure, emphasizing increased inspections and risk assessments.
