ISLE OF MAN
It looks like I have the honour of starting a thread for postings of this neat little feild. Locally known as Ronaldsway and to the rest of the world as IOM/EGNS.
I understand that there is an extension planned for the main runways? This to be (naturally) on the seaward side to the eastern side.
What is planned or is it already approved? How would the extension improve access and what category of a/c could then be handled? Any dates?
Lastly, who was the instigator of this? Demand from carriers, regulators or self interest by the House of Keys? (name of the island's parliament)
I tend to visit IOM three times a year to see my mother who lives in Castletown (out towards Scarlett point) and I often see the house on approach/departure.
Many thanks.
