Don’t think that the extension of the runway at LTN was ever proposed by the airport authority but just by the government. Don’t think it will ever be built either, not for the next 10 to 20 year anyway as it will be of no benefit to the low cost airlines whose passengers would have to fund it. Also to extend the runway at the 26 end would need an awful lot off earth to build up the land. Expansion will come from the south of the airport. Nice flat land for new aprons, terminal and an integrated station. Just wait for the end of year announcement.
