'Runways' are too close together.

[Tommy Tipee]

Because they're too close together, and when the northern strip is in use, taxiing options are reduced.

[BOAC]

Van - in fact, there is only 1 runway available at any time. Unless............no, I won't go there

Reqs 1000m between runways to be operated independantly. are you referring to the B*A incident Boac?

[BOAC]

As if I would. An aquaintance of mine - and the topic well-explored in these portals.

[vaninnam]
