A320 Glider
But a burden upon the taxpayer, CAL has/had a 3,049m runway, more than they were ever likely to need or might only need once in a blue moon so not sufficient to financially support its existence, so they shut down around 40% of the runway to a more suitable length to reduce overheads, NQY remains with a full length runway!!

You can easily cut that runway in half!
EZY seasonals to LGW can do STOL ops.
TODR won't be an issue as the demand cannot be that high between LGW NQY for a full load on an A319/20.

Golden rule, never trust anything the Daily Fail reports as it's usually inaccurate or wrong!
This article from Simple Flying seems to suggest that "...a large US military plane, carrying several Osprey aircraft" was accompanying POTUS.
According to RadarBox, x4 USAF C-17 Globemasters (03-3119, 00-0184, 07-7169 & 07-7176) landed at NQY between 6-7th Jun so perhaps the upgrades would have been needed in order to be able to handle these, as Dct_Mopas suggests?

Not that there is any need for a runway extension but a dead giveaway would be if there have been any recent NOTAM's regarding WIP, ILS off air, approach lights inop etc. etc. etc.

Stobart Air ceases trading with immediate effect, that’s the end of Belfast and Dublin flights from NQY as they were operated by Stobart air, as Aer Lingus regional.

I would be surprised if EI didn’t have a back up plan. After all the regional contract was only due to run another 12 months or so before transferring to the new operator.
I would suspect mainline metal on some routes short term
and an early start date for the new entity ? Perhaps even taking on the STK leased aircraft and the crews ?
