If I had to guess, all things equal, its probably much thicker than your average driveway.

Yes, for example taxiways and aprons designed to take the weight of large aircraft like A380s can be ~470mm (almost half a metre) thick, and that's only half of the structure with the subgrade and sub-base together being about as thick! Whereas the standard for driveways where I live is 125mm thick.
