Is there scope for the runway to be further extended within its own boundary to match the length of NCL airport? It seems cargo could benefit from a longer runway length for outbound payload.

Have just looked at google earth and there is already an overrun of some 300ft at the 26 end,which would make the runway longer than NCL,there is also scope for further extending the runway to some 8000ft before the moors river is located,this could easily be re-routed to go well beyond 8000 ft,if there was a need to.Perhaps as the airport owners are the rigby construction group this could be easily done.
