CHENNAI: The Airports Authority of India (AAI) will close the main runway at the Chennai airport for a few hours every day to carry out much needed repair.
With increased rubber deposits on the runway, the friction co-efficient of the surface has fallen below acceptable standards. The co-efficient reflects the ability of the surface to allow an aircraft’s braking action. It is of particular importance in times of rain, when runways are slippery.
