If you check I believe you will find that Jersey's runway is 5597FT (1706m). It was originally slightly longer than SOU. When the SOU runway was laid in 1965 it was 5500 FT (1676m), but was subsequently extended to the north (hence the double turning pad) at the time that land was sold off to the south to facilitate construction of the M27.
