The runway, as I had mentioned before, doubles up as the island’s evening recreation center. Around five o’clock, the whole village pours onto the runway. Kids, parents, grandparents… everybody. Soccer, rugby, volleyball, you name it. Some are out for an evening stroll while others simply stand around soaking in the energy and cheering everyone on.

I have seen airports with duty-free shops, lounges, and even spas. This is the first one with a pickup soccer game on the runway.
