Runway Lengths in the UK!!
As i am a keen aircraft spotter one thing that upsets me is the fact the runway length at some of U.K's regional airports is restricting growth. For example at my local airport is Liverpool and the thing that is stopping the airport from growing is the runway length. With roughly 2250 metres of available runway for takeoff's and landings the airports limited really to a fully loaded 757 or just possibly a 767. With LPL constantly being linked with east atlantic links with airlines such as continental and american i think that we are not seeing any developments due to the length of runway. Even Ryanair's 738's are running some restricted flights closing off the back few rows of some flights.
Whats everyone else's views on the matter at their local airports?
