Agreed but for the majority of posters, they dare suggest anything positive and are only looking for every scenario why x, y and z won’t happen. It’s true the airport has it’s limitations which have been relentlessly pointed out recently but my word does it have some very positive benefits also. Bottom line is that if the extension is completed, there is nothing to suggest that the likes of EZY or any other airline won’t take a look at offering a limited selection of services, based aircraft or not, to the Med region as before and they will not be distracted by a north south runway nor it being only 37m in width as long as the finances make sense. Let’s wait and see!
