Half way down document suggests runway length
IS to be extended.
It is therefore proposed to not only build a circa 200 metre promontory out to sea, which will resolve the
RESA problem, but also to extend the current runway surface onto the new promontory, in order to gain a
useful increase in runway length. This modest increase in length will help to ensure that future regional aircraft types can be accepted without payload restrictions.
Me thinks future Regional types will be the orange kind!
