outlets are situated around an adjacent open courtyard. Runway The airport has a single, bidirectional runway with an asphalt surface, identified as 01/19. The runway is long, wide, and above mean sea level. There is no parallel taxiway, and aircraft arrivals and departures often involve backtracking on the runway. The airport's instrument approach procedure is quite challenging because of its steep angle of descent of 6.65°, more than double the standard approach angle of 3° and steeper than London City's 5.5°. This is due to its geographic location in the mouth of a valley.
