The phrase "airfield surface" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to aviation, discussing the physical characteristics or conditions of the ground at an airfield.
Example: "The maintenance crew conducted an inspection of the airfield surface to ensure it was safe for landing."
Alternatives: "runway surface" or "landing area".
Airfield surface and marking alterations, terminal facility changes, aircraft adaptations, pilot training changes.
This is because reductions in visibility and traction (due to either in situ or remobilised tephra) have previously resulted in reduced speeds or closed roads (Blong 1984; Wilson et al. 2012, 2014; Blake DM, Wilson TM, Cole JW, Deligne NI, Lindsay JM: Impact of volcanic ash on road and airfield surface skid resistance.
Blake et al. (2017a) investigates the skid resistance at airports, an important factor which enables aircraft acceleration, deceleration and change of direction on airfield surfaces.
Several problems became evident - the spatted undercarriage sank into muddy airfield surfaces, and the spats were temporarily removed.
We assess functionality loss of airfields by applying the key findings from skid resistance and road marking coverage experiments for airfield concrete surfaces covered by ash (Fig. 3).
The 75-seat aircraft, with its wing mounted above the fuselage, is a niche product — a passenger jet designed to fly from poorly surfaced airfields.
The tests revealed a number of problems in that the thick wing inherited from the Yak-3 limited the top speed of the aircraft, the engine exhaust damaged the surface of the airfield, the cockpit often filled with smoke from kerosene and oil that had dripped onto the engine, and the aircraft was very short-ranged.
Actual highway and airfield pavement consists of a two-dimensional surface of finite width, a nominal camber and grader.

The aggressor often accomplishes this by using airfield denial weapons that either crater the runway surface or detonate deep in the subgrade under the runway.
An airfield's pavement network branches consists of all surfaced areas that provide access to ground or air traffic e.g., runways, taxiways, aprons, roads and storage areas.
