A typical runway safety area, marked in brown color. A runway safety area (RSA) or runway end safety area (RESA, if at the end of the runway) is defined as "the surface surrounding the runway prepared or suitable for reducing the risk of damage to airplanes in the event of an undershoot, [1] overshoot, or excursion from the runway."

The runway thresholds are markings across the runway that denote the beginning and end of the designated space for landing and takeoff under non-emergency conditions. [28] The runway safety area is the cleared, smoothed and graded area around the paved runway. It is kept free from any obstacles that might impede flight or ground roll of aircraft.
[48] [47] Following the collision, it was noted the airport was also facing scrutiny related to other incidents causing concern over air traffic safety risks, including a May 29, 2024 incident which had involved two planes nearly colliding on the airport's runway, and an incident on January 28, 2025 which involved a jet being forced to abort ...
The $17-million terminal for EWN was completed on November 5, 1999, by the LPA Group. As of June 2006, Coastal Carolina Regional has approved their 20-year master plan, which included an extension of the main runway, the runway safety area expansion, a larger noise zone, and a new control tower.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration said on Tuesday it will hold runway safety meetings at 90 airports over the next few weeks after a series of troubling close-call ...
The "runway condition" is a runway's current status in relation to current meteorological conditions and air safety. Dry: the surface of the runway is clear of water, snow or ice. Damp: change of color on the surface due to moisture. Wet: the surface of the runway is soaked but there are no significant patches of standing water.
Runway designations are shown at their respective thresholds. Since the runways are reversible, aircraft traveling on a WNW heading would be (for example) on 28R, but aircraft traveling in the opposite direction (ESE) on the same runway would be on 10L instead. T1 = Terminal 1, with boarding areas B and C; T2 = Terminal 2, with boarding area D
