I’m staggered, part of the fenced off area finishes well inside where the new apron should be. Maybe it is the case that there just isn’t the room for a new apron, expanded terminal and a multi story car park in the central area. So what does this all mean then for phase 1 expansion? Maybe there will be no phase 1 expansion and we will have to wait 6-8 years for the airport to expand south of the runway.
Looks like the airport could be facing indefinite zero growth.
