OK, so at last we have a few more figures.
£120m for a runway extension sounds worth talking about; if that opens up more long haul flights then bring it on.
The total development plan figure was quoted previously as £2.5bn, now down to £1.5bn. I can't imagine the terminal would be more than about £80m (still 10x Cov's), so that's still £1.3bn for the second runway & associated taxiing.
I am waiting for a coherent CoBa on this - any suggestions?
A couple of weeks ago, we saw how Brum couldn't shell out £30m to buy Cov - they should have done it when they had the chance in 1993, when they would have probably got it for £1!
Now they are asking neighbouring councils to help them fork out for the runway extension.
So could someone please tell me where the funding would come from for the second runway? It is starting to look almost as ridiculous as the Rugby proposals!
