Southampton-3
SOU have until 1 September to file the Change Request, which if they meet this deadline will be published mid October to become formally effective on 30 November. Included within the AIP change will be a new Aerodrome Chart to depict the extension
Expressflight, that was a quick touch-and-go by your post! It had gone before I had completed my response!
Should you continue to be in any doubt, with a 164 metre extension the total runway length is now 1887 metres. The declared distances result in not all the runway being usable for TORA/ASDA performance calculations.
Displaced thresholds for both runways, have not moved. The 02 LDA is slightly extended to 1673, the 20 LDA is unchanged.
Other declared distances are, with the exception of the 20 TODA (1 metre more, which is plausible) are as per those contained in the Planning Application.

I commented originally because the new 02 numbers are less than previously apart from a 26m increase on TODA, but then looking at those for 20 I saw that there is an increase on all but LDA so deleted the post. Even so I'm rather disappointed at the increase in TODA on 20 of just 70m. Is this all that was expected?

No worries, a NOTAM issued by an aerodrome can only be valid for a maximum of three months. If in this time the data is to become permanent the originator should file an AIP Change Request to formally change the relevant section (s) of the AIP. In this process there is the ability to designate the change as "PERM", which will then be published as such by NATS AIM.

Brilliant news! How ironic after all these years it’s the day the runway extension is finally in use and the usual suspect is trying to focus the narrative on an apparent negative event. What an incredibly sad individual. I guess we are going to have a year now of the troll telling us it was a waste of money and why aren’t there new routes announced yet etc etc.

Actually it is probably the truth.

“The fact that it will be extended will unlock prosperity for the area, will put Southampton on the map, and will provide more jobs.
An official opening will take place on September 21.

SOU really needs to act pretty damn quick and add some Summer 24 routes as BOH had 115k through the airport in June, a whopping 50k more than SOU. If the airport wants a share of this holiday traffic for next summer, announcements need to be made very soon before it’s too late and most people have already booked flights from elsewhere!

There is absolutely no need to panic about the release of Summer 24 flights
The only companies that do this is TUI and Jet 2 they amend constantly and update all the time
Ryanair and EasyJet don’t release anything until mid October / November so don’t expect anything until then
No one really books until Dec / Jan when it all goes crazy town !!
BA just copy and paste everything for the following year then just cancel at the last minute as always
I have access to BA loads and it’s a mixed bag
The TUI charter flights have done so far extremely well with BA Cityflyer , full to be precise ..
However the rest of the schedule like ALC , FAO and AGP about 60 / 70 % for August , the fares are pretty high and could be the reason , but not breaking loads for the height of summer I am afraid

Yes EasyJet have contracts with TUI but tend to use them when their airline don’t fly to that destination
A good example would be particular in the winter with Crystal Ski

The June Pax numbers for SOU are a little dissapointing ,indeed the airport will have diffuculty making the quoted break even figure of 1.2 mill for 2023.
Given that Bournemouth are still increasing flights and paxs numbers,its inperative SOU attract an airline to carry the number of paxs to return it to profitability asap.
