I was speaking to a senior figure at the airport back in January. He said any rwy extension IF it was to happen would occur after the decision was made as to whether or not to grant Blackpool super casino status & in any case would not occur until 2008 at the earliest. The length mentioned was 3200m with Queensway being diverted around the new extension. Does BLK need an extension of this size? With all the will in the world I cannot see the likes of CO, DL etc being interested in serving BLK.
I would be happy to be proved wrong though!
Excellent news about AMS & FAO btw.
