A floating runway is provided for use at sea having a horizontal, top surface whereupon aircraft may operate during landing and take-off. A number of floating, releasably interconnected supporting section are connected to a number of bridge sections mounted alternately and consecutively in a longitudinal direction of the runway. The number of supporting sections and the number of bridge sections include ends, as viewed in the logitudinal direction of the runway having respective abutment portions adapted for mutual abutment for interconnection of the section. The abutment portions including cantilevered beam portions projecting away from mid portions of the respective sections as reviewed in the longitudinal direction thereof. The beam portions of the bridge sections include a lower surface and an upper surface of the beam portions of the supporting sections arranged the same distance from the top surface. The beam portions of the bridge sections are supported by the beam portions of the supporting sections via the beam portions of the bridge sections and carry only a portion of the weight of the bridge sections when the bridge sections are connected with the supporting sections, so that the weight portion provides an abutment force for ensuring the mutual fixation of the sections.
