What Broome needs before a tower is a full lenght taxy way parallel to 10/28 which will take rpt jets. With 10 departures, the runway is occupied for a considerable time while the jet enters and backtracks, the same with a landing on 28. It becomes necessary to space yourself out further to allow for the back track. This wider circuit then puts the GA aircraft out further etc etc. There has been numerous rpt aircraft carry out missed approaches through aircraft backtracking.
