@greenteavideo but you can land from 2 directions, so you say 2 runways, and we name'em with their radials

One has to make an U-turn at the end to turn around?

@k59329 ya but they have just 3 planes ...maybe they capable of being the smallest airline

let me clear this up...there are 2 runways. Runway 15 and runway 33. Both are used, but not at the same time. It depends on the direction of the wind.

@sunamer the 15 has notihng to do with how many runways there are. It means the runway is facing 150 degrees.
