Anyone know how the runway resurfacing work is progressing?
Nicely ahead of schedule; the runway will be H24 again from 01 July until 30 September, with Cat. 3 ILS capability available just on (I think...) Runway 26, as the necessary lighting will have been fully re-instated at that end.
The runway closes overnight again on 01 October until 30 November to complete the lighting installation on Runway 08. Other associated work includes the junction between Taxiway Charlie and the runway (due to be completed by the end of next week) and the junction between Taxiway Bravo and the runway.
It is rumoured that because of 'significant' new cargo business and the keeness of those carriers that have temporarily decamped (e.g. DHL, MNG, AAG) to return to Luton ASAP, it's possible that the runway overnight work - if it stays ahead of schedule - could actually be completed at the end of October enabling the runway to reopen H24 and fully Cat. 3b from 01 November.
Good news all round!!
