- Runways 15L/33R and 6L/24R are the only two runways in operation at the airport and they intersect. There are two inner runways that have been closed and are overgrown. So, if you’re approaching and are looking for dual runways next to each other you won’t see them both. Just a single runway. The designations have not been changed to remove L & R from the remaining active runways.
