TORA and or LDA (total lengths available) is not what on the day, can a flight planner or pilot use for their performance calculations - One can only use the length of runway what the book says the aircraft and its payload can lift off or land with, depending on the various other parameters, and weather occurring on the day (Of which SOU is somewhat blighted as we know, plus our increasingly hot summers days)
The holy grail is not necessarily the Canaries, Cyprus and the Greek Islands.
