Both ILSs are out of service (see NOTAM with the nice wording "procedures suspended"). No approach lights/PAPI on RWY34 because of the displaced threshold. Only approach is NDB RWY16. No circling is permitted to RWY36 for lack of lights/darkness. Poor quality runway surface. The new runway (under construction for 2 years) is close to being complete, expected to be open soon (someone in the know might update us when?). Obviously they had to start with building a shiny new terminal first because that's what you need the most for safe operation.
