I am afraid the chances of a new Plymouth Airport have gone and never to return. As has been stated numerous times before PCCs past and present just havent had the balls for want of a word or the forsight to take the bull by the horns and upset the nimbys living near the airport.The only chance now of a runway extension is a landfill at the 31 end of the runway the idea of putting it on stilts was thrown out a couple of years ago on cost grounds.The talk is and once again it is only talk which is what we keep getting from the relevant parties is that part of the airport is tobe sold off to pay for the improvements in infrastruture and the runway extension Ha! All talk and I doubt whether it will happen in our lifetime as they missed the boat numerous years ago.
