Thanks for that Yankee!
Since runway length is an issue for Air Berlin and SOU have just lost a very reputable carrier because of this it does seem rather odd that SOU state in their Master plan that no extension to the runway is envisaged in the period to 2015 and beyond, although they do briefly mention about a stater strip. You would think that they would be exploring all possibilities to rectify this possibly very damaging shortfall.
Does anyone know any differently to the above or does anyone have any thoughts about how this problem could be rectified?
