Increased v2???

However to have an real increase in take off weight, you would need a substantial increase in rwy length to benefit from the improved climb option.

If you look at the cost versus any benefit, it just makes no sense. Continental operate flights to New York, from Bristol and that rwy is shorter than NCL. Besides within current facilities flights operate to Orlando and the Carribean. What would we be looking at operating with a longer runway??? We are never going to be a long haul airport, nor would I want it to be.

Let's keep operating those flights which keep the airport going. There are already financial issues to be resolved without lumbering it with more debts that just wont't be paid off.

My airline would not be happy having to pay extra fees to finance a development that would not benefit either ourselves or any of the other airlines here.
