Gloucestershire Airport 27/09
The rumour mill grinds on......
It appears that rwy 27/09 will be shut, mon-fri, for at least a month from mid-July. This is in order to remove the large hump/dip in the rwy and improve drainage. This in turn should increase braking ability (v.useful to larger biz jets that seem determined not to backtrack after rollout on 09!). In the process the width of 27/09 will also be reduced to 30m, from the 37m it currently is.
The plan, I believe, is to allow light GA operations on 22/04 and 18/36 during the week, and any jet traffic will operate on 27/09 on the weekend, until the works are complete.
