Runway

I was passing City of Derry airport last week and could see that work was ongoing with the runway extention. Does anyone know when this is due for completion?

Re some of the comments above re Aer Arann may pick up say Bristol, it now seems clear that this will not happen as Aer Arann have said that they are in future going to be focusing on Charter and sub contract work and essientially Scheduled services are not what they will be about (excluding the existing lot i would imagine).

This is disappointing as if Aer Arann who are quite the niche airline wont do this and already operate who will? Flybe's association with Loganair will give them alot of insite into operating at LDY and also Flybe has limited success in its past foray's into the airport (early 90's SH6 routes to BHD and DUB).

So outside of Ryanair I can't see any other airline looking too seriously at City of Derry Airport?

Any word on how BHX & LTN are performing?
