Maybe even new access roads?BRS is currently at 9mppa and thats with 27 based aircraft including 17 easyJet and 4 Ryanair aircraft... What is the ramp capable to handling at the moment?

Not sure the Cat would of been so keen with a Ryanair 737 coming towards him

My parents always thought that road along with avro road would be bought out one day to make room for the airport, as they said it's not nice if you have to leave the home you have worked hard on, but it's another risk being so close to an airport, they chose to sell up long ago to avoid that happening into the future. If there was a guarantee that wouldn't happen they would have probably stayed.
