EMAS is common ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineered_materials_arrestor_system https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineered_materials_arresto... ), but many airports are built in areas where you’re inherently locked in and there’s a choice of runway, EMAS, grass overrun, but a fixed total distance available.
- MoreMoore 2y agoNot sure what you understand with "common". According to that wiki page, EMAS is installed on 112 runways in the US and there are over 1000 commercial runways in the US (as of 2007: https://www.icao.int/Meetings/AMC/MA/2007/9CCARDCA/9ccardcaip07.pdf https://www.icao.int/Meetings/AMC/MA/2007/9CCARDCA/9ccardcai...). There are only 15 non-US installations and none of them are in South Korea.
