Hi,

There are two runways but in fact there is only one main runway for regular use and one " emergency" runway for use when the main runway is closed i think ( It is narrower and shorter. ( it may also have a lower CAT rating)
The two runways are also too close together to allow both of them to be used at the same time I think.

Regards

TBS
