I know that it's been remarked that I know nothing about aerodromes, but would somebody explain runway length issues as follows.
1. Why does FR want LDY runway to be longer-FCA use A320 to Palma, there are flights to Faro (possibly A320) thats quite a range from LDY-are there only a certain number of passengers allowed on these flights.
2. If BHD has a shorter runway than LDY how come the A321 was used for LHR (was there a restriction on seats as well). I think last year the A321 was used for Malaga as it was a 'W' pattern from BFS with BD on Thursdays.

So basically if FR were to use bhd would the runway need to be lengthened or would they just restrict the loads, which would seem like a waste of money.

Very much appreciated if somebody in the know would outline these issues

Thankyou
