Abit pointless isn’t it? The runways are all marked With a large H at each end indicating that they are intended for helicopters. Why do helicopters need runways
It happens at LBA as well, the helicopters are like a mile away and they have to fly over the taxiways, then onto the runway. They actually act like they’re on a take off roll and at the end they ‘rotate.’
I have to get the bus for the previous evening ,which would be about 11pm, so have to wait at LBA all night then get checked in in the morning. Same with the arrival, late arrival and I have to go all the way back home tired and I use that route everyday anyway.
