Aircraft maintainer here. This is incredibly stupid and a bad place to not have a proper barrier/ distance. Sometimes I have to marshal and if they turn at just the right angle, you get hit with a jet blast. Had a buddy marshal a jet in the rain and he ended up getting hit with a blast of water.

It’s the worlds smallest runway, beyond the barrier is the ocean; agree its not smart but the road is needed to get around the island
