 The airport has two parallel runways, 08L/26R and 08R/26L. Approximately seventy percent of operations use 26L & 26R when the prevailing winds are from the west.  08L & 08R are most frequently used in clear weather when prevailing winds are from the east.
 The northern runway (08L/26R) is used for arrivals as well as for heavy (e.g. A330) or military departures (everything which is parked at the northern, military apron). The southern runway (08R/26L) is the main departure runway.

 The observation deck can be found on top of the Terminal Building. It goes completely around the Building, so you can watch perfectly the whole apron. The deck is open from 10AM to 6PM from April to September, and from 10AM to 4PM at other times of year, but may be closed when the weather is poor.  The entrance fee is 2€.
