An extra bit of runway won't mean larger aircraft, it will simply enable airline operators to use their planes more efficiently, which would spell out more exciting destinations for business and pleasure!

We won't operate any larger or nosier aircraft than we do now....Extra runway will simply allow us to use existing size aircraft so you can fly further to more destinations.

Was always the case, larger aircraft, such as L1011, DC10, B707, B747 & Concorde are banned from landing at the airport by the current Section 106 Agreement with LPAs! Runway width will always preclude wide bodied ops.
Merry Christmas to all our readers, let’s hope that the forthcoming decade will show continued investment to permit the airport to achieve its full potential.
