Not sure if this is still the correct aircraft sizes or not allowed to operate
SWBKCB
When permission was granted for development of the airport, it was done so under the following condition:
Quote:
Passenger and cargo fixed wing aircraft to be limited to the following types of aircraft, Jetsream 41, DHC-8Q400, ATR-42, ATR-72 and RJ146 or aircraft of equivalent characteristics in terms of size, weight, carrying capacity, noise and other polluting emissions.
While this may be changed at a later date, it rules out Ryanair ops initially.
EDIT: This was a condition of the 2013 planning approval, which was later overturned. I'm not sure if this clause was included in the final approval.
