Just read on another site that the DAA are concerned by Runway 10/28. The new runway would of being open about now. They don't know how many more years 10/28 will cope with repairs before it will have to be closed as repairs won't sustain it forever. The plan was to close it when the new runway opened and rebuild it. It only leaves there to operate with 16/34 which means the airport could not handle long haul traffic and possibly medium haul. Runway 1028 opened in 1989. It will be a costly whatever they decide to do.
Anybody know more info and if its true.
16/34 is mainly used for cross-wind operations.
