Confused with a sentence

¡Hola! I'm trying to understand a sentence, and when I find out the meaning for the words I don't comprehend, it doesn't make sense. Can you help me? In the following you will see the sentence I excerpted out of the original article:
"El nuevo Aeropuerto Mariscal Sucre opera con una segunda pista." I know the first part say, "The new Marshall Airport...", then I don't know what the words mean in context from 'sucre' and following. Thanks so much!

You got two great answers before mine, but note the capitalization of Sucre - that was the clue it was part of the proper name of the airport (along with Mariscal) - rogspax, Jun 19, 2013

The airport's name is "Mariscal Sucre" and it operates with a second runway.

Hoy en día "airstrip" más bien se traduce a "aeropuerto pequeño". "Segunda pista" sería "second runway" - 005faa61, Jun 19, 2013
