It's becoming clearer that when the extension works will start is a lot later then expected. Surely the works would have been better being done winter 22/23 ,rather than as suggested by other contributors starting in April 23?
If this is the case then the extension will not provide any advantage to the airport to at least 2024,given that the work might not be complete to early Winter 2023.
The airport was cleared to go ahead with its plans in early August 2022,this seems a long time to completion. In addition to this the height restrictions on approach to 02 and take off 20 are yet to be resolved,and with the extinction rebellion chomping at the bit,will they?
It's a very unsatisfactory situation the airport management should have resolved long ago
