IMHO the delay with publication of the AIP Supplement shouldn't further delay the kick off. The 3 April start could initially be covered by a NOTAM which could then be superseded by a Supplement, which should appear on the NATS website during the last week of March to become effective from 6 April."
Just wondering if the construction was done overnight when the airport was closed then is an AIP Supplement needed if normal operations are not affected when the airport is open ?
If there is no operational impact on runway operations technically the answer would be “no”. However the cost of achieving this would excessively escalate the cost of the project.
The need would be to ensure that the current runway strip-end and RESA requirements are always available together with the RWY 20 runway approach lighting.
