OOooh is that what they are?
I thought they were put there to set off nose wheel shimmying on aircraft with weak dampers? (seen many times). As there is no reflective qualities on those bumps on the centre line and taxiways. Sure is fun trying to find the taxiways back to the club at night, *vacates left off the active* "oops that’s the grass"

Settle down fellas, there is no chance that 737s will be operated out of PP, so who cares about the figures. Both the B1900 and Q300 could operate fine at the present length. The aircraft they are getting at in the article is the ATR-72 (or perhaps, misguidedly, the Q400). They would require an extension to operate effectively (or at all). Probably something like 1700 m at a minimum.

At 1470m, PP is plenty long enough, so I guess that argument is academic too...
