Runways

In 2013 French air force specialists completed  extensive repairs of the airport runway, which had been going on for several years. They also lengthened the runway from 3.1 km to 3.5 km.  The runway is capable of handling the world’s largest aircraft loads. A number of years ago US experts did soil analysis and determined this to be the case according to a DIA spokesman.
