The airport reported runway 25L was closed due to an aircraft blocking the runway. The airport was forced to operate with the shorter crossing runwas as result (07L/25R and 02/20) causing minor delays.
A source told The Aviation Herald the asphalt covering the runway melted under the tyres causing the aircraft to sink into the runway surface.
Controladores Aereos reported the aircraft apparently sunk into the runway asphalt and was disabled. A resurfacing of the runway is necessary.
