Runway Discrepancy
According to ICAO standards, the runway at an international airport must be at least 150 meters wide, clear of non-frangibles, with deviation permissible when there are physical barriers and the deviation is documented in the Aeronautical Information Publication used by pilots when landing at an airport. There is a discrepancy between the NTSB and Thai authorities relating to the width of runway 27. The NTSB measured the runway 27 to be 45 meters wide free of obstructions due to the location of the non-frangible embankment running along the runway. Thai DCAT claims that the runway is 75 meters wide free of obstructions. Thai DCAT do not plan to amend the AIP of Thailand.
