Runway 2 re-opens stretched!
Runway 05R-23L re-opens on Sunday following pavement repairs. Whilst closed the opportunity was taken to re-mark and re-survey the the runway declared distances and approval has been granted by the CAA to marginally extend the distances on 23L. The change comes into official effect from 8th May in the UK AIP.
RWY 23L 3050 x 45 metres (10006 x 150 feet)
Using Starter Extension (link Tango) 3200m available (10500 feet).
A small change but now correctly gives 23L the status of being the longest runway at MAN, even without using the Starter Extension.
