But I hope you are correct with that information when you state that it's actually going ahead at this time. Again I asked this question on the airports LinkedIn page a few months ago with no real direct answer.
Regarding "phase 2", when is that going to happen and what will it involve other than the northern taxiway.
I know that finances are tight but the airport would benefit from doing as much now as possible so that it's in a better state for any future expansion. If it's left to "later" it might not ever happen.
Agreed that now would be an opportune time to add a taxiway from 14 out to runway (although not full length and never has been on current plans submitted). To confirm 1-5 is being made to 4 larger in the cul-de-sac, thus small stand 1 being incorporated within new footprint
