Last weeks runway repair was a farce. Yes it's good to have another runway just a pity they can't be bothered bringing the ils back up to cat1. Several go arounds that day due to weather and then when it finally cleared up later on inbounds still had to hold due to congestion on the ground. I don't think the resurfacing plan is a voluntary move. There is a rumour circulating that they have been required to do it by the end of 2011.
