According to calculation, if they add up all three runways, including the one closed together, they can form a 3451 m by 45 m runway.(just bored)

Right downtown!
This airport is much more convenient than BIKF for GA. It's right in the middle of town. If you stay at the Loftleidir hotel, 10 meters from the FBO, you can see your aircraft from your window, although we stayed at the Hotel Holt in the center, which is very nice. Handling and fuel is expensive, but not unreasonable.
