Are we going to see a repeat of the previous missed opportunity (when runway was resurfaced) to add the TWY A missing link at the northern end?
As I mentioned previous, it seems from the latest S106 that no additional planning is required for this taxiway and therefore it would surely be remiss not to add a bit more tarmac out from stand 14 to runway with equipment already being on site
