Perth runway works
G'day folks,
Article in today's West Australian about the closure of runway 21/03 at YPPH for about 6 weeks from February 2010 due to resurfacing. SA and EK are apparently looking at substituting aircraft types during this time to somewhat offset potentially big payload restrictions. Runway 24/06 will be the go during this time. |

The airport was closed completely between 0030 and 0600 this morning for work on the intersection of the two runways.

^ Wow, great photo Tim, just for the effect of the 767 flashing by seemingly so close to the workers.

It was quite interesting landing on the shorter runway, an interesting approach, and taxi back to the terminal. We were on a full 330.

It must be a nice luxury to be able to close a runway completely to do the resheet...

Absolutely, and they have Sunday off as well!!
Would have thought a week day would be better (hmmm although it doesn't actually say they re-open the runway, the workers just get the day off... but the closed from 7am to 7pm indicates they do return it when not working.)

Should be an interesting landing for me on QF777 (734) this Saturday but an even more interesting take-off on QF802 (763) the following Saturday. Will keep my eyes out for the runway workers....So would a morning landing/departure normally use 06 or 24 ?

You'd be amazed just how fast people can finish what they're doing and clear a runway when you point out the landing lights in the distance (not finals, but when the aircraft's below 10000') and remind them time's running out fast!
