No point in having a longer runway to accommodate larger aircraft if you’ve got nowhere to put them. The lack of definite plans for an extension to the terminal aren’t confidence inspiring. At present there are three contact stands that can accommodate a 767 and only one that can take a A330/787 without using taking up other stands at the same time. Assuming the airport thinks it can attract new carriers which will bring the larger aircraft in addition to what it already has then some aspects of the plan seem to be all talk and no trousers.
