Abstract

The pavement condition index (PCI) procedure has been used in the Airport Pavement Management System (APMS) since the early 1980s, and thousands of airports have been evaluated using this procedure. It has stood the test of time and has provided sound engineering data on pavement condition evaluation and APMS implementation. In this study an attempt was made to use this procedure to evaluate Aden International Airport’s runway, taxiway and apron. Based on the PCI of each of the features mentioned above, the necessary maintenance or rehabilitation procedure is suggested.
