JingoOAU: You are wrong. Am a civil engr. A runway is typically about 3 to 4km in length and about 3 feet thick. You can build a runway in two years or less. Though runway construction is by far more complex than a road. It requires alot of details and complex engineering, the foundation is most times rebar enforced and graded to a more precise requirement than a road. It is also grooved specially in a way that enables it shed water from its foundation. The pavement roughness is deliberately constructed to help bring airplanes to a desired breaking speed. The major trouble in most parts of the world is protest from environmentalist, this slows things down and atimes halts the project. Also the nature and engineering properties of the soil goes a long way in determining how long it would take to construct the runway, if you have a high water table or a soil that acts like a sponge.. the engrs would be in in for a fustrating time on that project both design and construction wise. Lastly due to mad thickness runways have in the touchdown zone, it is usually paved in layers and each layer is allowed to cure for weeks before adding another. All the same a runway can be completed in less than 2yrs, if you have a good project engr/manager and a competent team of engrs.. Great Engineering isnt about how many lifetimes you spend on a project, it is about how many lifetimes the completed project last and can awe. I guess it is the bullshit habbit of Nigeria spending as much as 4yrs constructing mere 200km roads that formed your opinion. 4 Likes 1 Share |

You are part of what is wrong with this "indomie" generation. You want this article summarized in a sentence The apathy you have towards reading shows you cannot gather sufficient intellect needed to break free from the cycle of redundance. You are the reason the media will have "headlines" with a different story to go. "Change" your attitude!!! dahunsy: 1 Like |

" As my Lagos bound commercial flight charged out on takeoff roll on Runway-26 at Enugu airport, my heart jumped out of my mouth..." Saboteurs! That's how they start. You bear an Igbo name but you started your arguement with "Lagos bound" intending to put a clog and run to Lagos, as your kind always does, on the new face of Enugu International Airport so you can keep your helicopter business going...and only God knows how. You would have been taken a bit seriously if you had written this last year or before. Coming now that there's a business upgrade amounts to nothing but an attempt at sabotage. 2 Likes 1 Share |

JoSaintiago:The 'useless" man is a core professional in his field. I should assume that you are not the engineer that built the runaway. When the writer is demanding accountability and holding people responsible for the deeds, your orientation and ethnic attachment is derailing your thought process. I know what I suffered during the runway construction and extension. I shudder to imagine that I could go through the same experience again. |

ichidodo:But this is not war period. The airport tarmac in Enugu has to be in optimum condition for a new and modern airport it is. Lafarge Tarmac, may have to be the next choice construction firm to examine the airport for repairs. |

@ all those claiming the man is a saboteur, I expect you to confirm that you used the same runway 26 and it was smooth all the way. Heck, u could even attach pictures of the entire stretch to prove your point. The man saw something wrong and wrote to thisday newspapers in order to get the attention of those concerned to take appropriate measures. I think that is very noble of him. A habit we should all emulate to get govt attention when things are going wrong. If you say he is not telling the truth, write to thisday as well quoting this article and let them kno. Let thisday carry out their investigation and tell us who is correct. 1 Like |

All those blaming Yorubas for this write-up should think twice because: Nnaji, the Managing Director/CEO of OAS Helicopters, writes from Lagos the writer is not Yoruba! |
Re: Enugu Airport Runway Death Trap - MD. OAS Helicopters by NoraNnaji: 12:25pm On Jun 18, 2016 |
Mr Nnaji of OAS Helicopters seems to have a lot of spare time in his hand. He should rather improve his own business as he owes his current and former employees a lot of money. OAS has not paid salaries for up to a year. People are going to court trying to get what is rightfully theirs. Shame on that 'big man'. |
