Just curious to know...why at this airport are the taxiway & runway the "wrong way around"?...ie runway closer to the terminal than the taxiway? Are there pylons/masts in the way on short approach to the "taxiway"?
Surely it would make more sense for the "runway" to be the strip of tarmac further away...otherwise all taxiing aircraft are going to have to cross the active runway each time for take-off and landing?
Surely just makes more sense from an airport operations point-of-view, as well as for a safety one.
Taxiway is also quite a bit longer than the runway..surely they could put that to good use?
