Sorry to disappoint you HW&A but the NOTAMs have all been reissued until the end of July. The problem is that the CAA have still not signed off the work. One issue that I am aware of is that the drainage gullies running alongside the runways were considered to be a danger to any aircraft suffering a runway excursion but I am led to believe that this has been rectified. The CAA were at Carlisle last week and I believe that they are revisiting this coming week. I have no idea what the current issues are that are preventing the authorisation to reopen.

Just remember, though, that despite this we should all be reassured by the earlier statement at the end of May by Kate Willard, head of corporate projects, who said: "It was purely the air traffic control skills shortage that didn't get us over the line. Just that single thing, which is truly frustrating and I am so sorry. Everything else, including the infrastructure and construction, was - and is - on track."
