    It just occurred to me that the runaway should have a slightly parallel incline gradiant at opposite ends, so when a plane lands it automatically becomes stable on touching down.

    Good news for the Saints,they now have the capability to airlift anyone needing critical care,to that I am happy.
    Second,the opportunity for self reliance from the Crown and the Gang who don’t work.
    Next,the influx of miserable tourists.
    Bittersweet for them,the Saints are a wonderful people,I hope it all works out for the better.

    Thank you for the video looking forward to booking a flight from the UK when the airport is open. There's a lot of BS in the UK press saying it will never open.

    when and where will commercial flights start? St Helena's tourism board should start showing ads all over the internet and cable tvs -inviting people to come visit the island.

    There are a few airports in the world with wind shear problems and they are dealt with by pilot abilities. If this was not the case then you could use a bloody robot to fly the aircraft !!

    I think you are forcing an airport there. Tricky winds permanently, very dusty ground ( not good for engines ) no escape on both ends of rnwy and this what we are able to see.
