I think that kind of route/service could work, but I really don't think we could realistically get a 1000m runway in no matter how you align it. I reckon you *may* be able to get a 700m one in, preferably aligned to the prevailing wind direction, but failing that perhaps along the line of the old 18/36 runway that is only allowed to be used currently as a heli take off/landing zone or even the current part grass runway 09/27. both are closer to the prevailing wind direction than 14/32 as I understand it.

*EDIT*
Actually, I reckon you might be able to get 800m along 09/27 without going into the sea or into farmland (although you would have a LOT of earth works to level the two ends.
