Same story at Blackpool International. They are going to close 07/25 and 13/31, so that they can build a parallel taxiway to 10/28, to get the jets off it quicker. This winter has seen long periods of strong southerly winds, so if that plan had already been implemented, flying club renters and student pilots would have been grounded on many days.
