Apron space is always going to be a limiting factor at SOU. There just isn’t the room to accommodate a BA schedule of 8 Embraer’s plus the potential for say 3 A320 post extension. The airport also has to hope that BA choose the E90 E2 as the A220 is even longer in length and won’t fit on stands 6-12. A longer runway will certainly be beneficial but will SOU be able to cope with the variety of airlines knowing their planes are only getting bigger in size and dimension?
