I understand that SOU's proposed runway extension is similar to SEN. SEN is now successfuly operating B738 and A320 equipment on sector lengths of almost four hours, why then is SOU not going to be able to offer the same?
I'm sure there is an operational and performance reason.
While the northern extension will provide some improvements to take-off weights for 20 departures, there is still (currently) the problem of obstacles in the take-off/climb area. Once the current legal process is completed, and hopefully Marhill Copse gets a haircut, we will finally get to see what is achievable.
