Jones said the downtime is enabling the airport’s management team to progress a masterplan that will increase SEN’s capacity to between 10 and 12 million passengers per year over the next decade
Jones plans are at odds with the goals of COP26 and the UK’s commitments to reduce emissions and not to substantially increase them. An application to expand to this size would go to government and not the council. Also the roads around the airport struggle now with traffic volumes so who would fund a bypass?
