Something similar in concept to a river could be developed. A linear way
for the the routing etc (waterway), and an area to indicate the outline
of the runway/taxiways (riverbank).
I always map them as closed polygons because:
* It's more accurate
* Runways aren't necessarily rectangular, Some have bulbous turning
circles to come back down the runway, rather than a one way taxi
network.
* Even grass strips for microlights render very wide in Carto when
zoomed out.
Please don't let whoever changed the wiki to read 'runaway = Runway of
an airfield' ever compile a dictionary

Well, maybe there is someone who thinks mapping runway as area is
wrong? I think that both way and area are OK, because the way
element matches the way we map taxiways. So it is useful when
others need to guide their plane using osm data(maybe in flight
simulator softwares). Mapping as area can show the width of the
runway and thus is more realistic. The best method should be using
both elements. Just like highway objects. Obviously, the wikipage
needs some edit or restoration.
Map the runways and taxiways as linear (who knows, someone might want
to have a routable model for flight simulators or similar games), and
map the negative space (grass infields, etc) as areas?
