Pre-empting any Flybe increases I imagine. It also should not be forgotten that the runway extension should help Loganair out in more extreme conditions, as there have been a few cases of them having to offload bags and people on some flights this summer.

This is good news,however as been quoted before the runway extension has no start date,indeed the airport manager has said it will start in 2023, so the Summer operations will still be affected by summer heat!
There's been many comments about materials already ordered,completion by April for the extension for example,however the airport.manager has confirmed that he is still sourcing materials,Labour for example!
At best it looks like completion for Winter 2023/24.
With a loss of over 4 million this year the airport needs to expand to survive.
