Heard a rumour that the north western taxiway is to be moved closer to the runway to allow for more industrial development and the old radar was in the way.

What happened to the 08 ILS, I've not flown from BOH since 2005 but ISTR there was ILS both ends.

I think the max payload for an A340-600 in cargo config (no seats or galleys/toilets) is around 70tons, but I doubt it could do JFK with that load out of BOHs 2271 meters runway.
