THE severe drought in southwestern China has claimed a new victim - a runway at one of the region's busiest airports.
A plummeting water table, combined with an increasingly busy timetable of take-offs and landings, has led to cracks at the only runway for Kunming airport in Yunnan Province, Xinhua news agency said yesterday.
"The drought has been especially bad this year in Yunnan," airport Deputy General Manager Pu Shanlei told Xinhua.
The runway will be closed for repairs from midnight to 7:30am every day until at least some time next month, the report added.
The drought is the worst in Yunnan in a century.
