Thanks for this information. I suspect the runway length is the full 13,200ft as, when we landed, we had a very long and swift roll-out down the runway before exiting.

When you arrive by bus from the town of Taba, you turn left onto what appears to be an old runway, running parallel to the live runway. You then have to drive around the end of the live runway and back down the other side to reach the new terminal area. It's certainly a long way round!

There doesn't appear to be anything else happening on the airfield except the occasional charter flights. As far as I can tell they seem to average only 1 or 2 flights a day, and Eqyptair don't appear to have any scheduled flights in their timetable.
