The airport was once infamous for its short runway which, surrounded by high mountains and the ocean, made it a tricky landing for even the most experienced of pilots. The original runway was only 1600 meters in length, but was extended by 200 meters 8 years after the TAP Air Portugal Flight 425 incident of 1977 and subsequently rebuilt in 2000, almost doubling the size of the runway, building it out over the ocean. Instead of using landfill, the extension was built on a series of 180 columns, each being about 70m tall. This airport is also considered the Kai Tak of Europe because of its runway and approach, excluding flying over a city.

ובתרגום חופשי:
אורכו המקורי 1600 מ'. ב-1977 אירעה שם תאונה, וכעבור 8 שנים האריכו אותו ב-200 מ'.
בשנת 2000 הוא נבנה מחדש, אורך המסלול כמעט הוכפל כאשר הוא נבנה על 180 עמודים, כל אחד בגובה של כמעט 70 מ'.
