Whoops.

My sister and her family flew out and back to Paphos from Luton on a Tomson flight on the last 2 weeks of August.

Not that narrow; looking at Paphos in Google earth; parallel taxiway is military emergency runway; exact same width
etc as yer actual runway.

Unlike Gatwick, the official runway is the nearer of the two to the terminal. Plus with all the extensions etc, it would appear (although not officially I would imagine) that the taxiway is a bit longer than the runway.

There appear to be no lead in lights or runway markings in GE, but neither can I say any "X"s painted at the ends to say "runway not in use", possibly because as has been mentioned, it might be in use for the military.

Looks to me like a mistake that probably wasn't so difficult to make *-) :doh:
