Saying it is known for a short runway, but a runway length of 3181m is not particularly short. It is longer than Manchester, England's runway and only slightly shorter than Heathrow's. Therefore, is 3181m the correct length for this airport runway??
Agree. >3000m is infact very long.
Just looked it up... most sources state 3100m and say that an extra 400-500m were suggested for an extension but this didn't happen. Apparently, a length of 3000+m is short but I don't know why.
Also wanted to add that 3000m isn't anywhere near short. A jumbo jet like the 747 or new large airbuses may need 12000+ feet, but a large jet can easily land on 10000 feet of runway, only needing about 6500 ft.
