> One article says the runway was equipped with EMAS, an Engineered Materials Arresting System.

Nowhere in that article says Muan Airpot has EMAS, it says a local official confirmed that Songshan Airport in Taipei has EMAS, following local concerns that Songshan Airport has an even shorter runway (2600m vs 2800m in Muan).

A thread full of armchair experts is already bad enough, please don't make it worse with seemingly well-supported misinformation.




Oh, you're right. Different airport. Sorry.

Muan does have the chevron markings on the overrun area, but that does not always indicate EMAS.
