Results: Airports around the world with only one runway Part I of 2
Hard to believe when, for instance, Hartfield ATL GA has 10 parallel runways! I'm gonna make this quiz easy by saying that all of the airports fall into the one runway category. I'll just give you their three letter "call" abbreviation. The 3 letters do not necessarily connote the first 3 letters of the name. For instance, IAD is the call symbol for Dullus (International airport Dulles). Good luck
