Abstract: The load-bearing capacity of natural airport surfaces directly affects the safety of air operations. Natural airport surfaces at military airports are front seat belts, work belts and side seat belts. The load-bearing capacity of the natural airport pavements must be high enough to prevent damage to the aircraft from the runway, damage to the underground infrastructure of the airport, and to enable quick restoration of the airport's operational capacity by efficient removal of the aircraft from the natural surface by airport services. That is why it is so important to have a quick and effective method of strengthening natural surfaces. The article proposes to improve the load-bearing capacity of natural airport pavements by using geogrids (airport gratings) pressed into the existing pavement. Keywords: Carrying capacity; Natural airport pavement; Safety Conducting air operations
