N707ZS - the map's and the google earth image are very out of date, I was there at Easter as my parent's live in the region and there is a lot of infrastructure work going on for the airport with new motorway junctions being constructed on the A30 to allow access to the airport. Can't say what stage they are exactley at with the airport as I did'nt venture over to it. I'll have a closer nose around when I'm down there in a couple of week's time.

With ref to the new runway at St Javier, to my knowledge it's still not in regular use even though it's been there for about 5 years now - as they were/are still awaiting approval from the government department/inspectorate in order to be allowed to use it - the only thing i have a ever seen land on the new runway is a couple of light aircraft although i do believe that just after it was constructed that a Ryanair landed on it by mistake.
