This will involve a '3000 metre' runway - that's about 10,000 ft in English.
Pardon me, no it's not!
It's 3000 metres in British English. It's only the Americans now who use old Imperial measurements for their runways, and I believe they have the gall to change this definition to 'Federal' measurements.
It certainly felt like Luton had already hit the 30 million when I was there the other Friday - getting through Security anyway - though the new 1st floor lounge is looking quite good now.
Anyhow, to look at all of the BAA interim materplans published so far go to
BAA's web site look at the lower right box and click on 'Airport Expansion'.
