If this short runway is regularly used for landing I am surprised it hasn't been extended to properly accommodate wide-bodies. There is room to extend past the 04 threshold to the RET taxiway that serves 18L. They wouldn't even have to move the 04 threshold, just keep it as displaced similar to the area ahead of 18L. This would give it a similar length to 22L at JFK which has been used for decades for wide-body arrivals without incident (SAS (1984) not withstanding!)
