Trivia

The grassy lands on which the airport is located are notorious for hosting a large population of rabbits and hares, which can clearly be seen by airplane passagers at certain times of the day. The airport organizes periodic hunts and captures to keep the population to manageable levels. http://www.alsapresse.com/jdj/97/10/01/IGF/1/article_2.html
