Requires as above Secretary of State approval.
Fantastic news though for STN & of course the region.
Congratulations to MAG with all their positive endeavours for the airport.
Well done STN, I was involved in the development and design of STN in the mid late 80's when the BAA where in charge, and 800 acres were set aside for a second runway. Onwards and upwards!
