I flew into Skiathos on Thomson (IIRC) flight in an Airbus.
Much juddering of brakes on the last bit of the (high speed) landing run: I was staggered to see we had actually halted on the turning circle at the very end of the runway to backtrack for the terminal.
On the way home we had to stop off after about 30 mins flight at a Greek airfield for fuel:
Apparently perf figures won't allow for take-off with full pax load and sufficient fuel for trip back.
No wonder it's a 'Captains only' landing: a bit like Madeira.
