checking the Aer Lingus website would seem to indicate many of the USA and Canada flights are bookable as a through connection via Dublin. and there is also a 10:40 DUB on a SAT with British Airways BA2938, High Season only 16/07/23-03/09/23 (also a ONE WORLD partner) and more Votes for LPL Liverpool please (which could feed IOM too?) Perhaps EI could op SOU-LPL-BHD on one of their 2 dailys >? |

" I have today seen the next batch of AIP Supplements that become effective on 9 March. Nothing there relating to the runway extension project. Again, another possible indication that CAA project approval may have been delayed. IMHO the delay with publication of the AIP Supplement shouldn't further delay the kick off. The 3 April start could initially be covered by a NOTAM which could then be superseded by a Supplement, which should appear on the NATS website during the last week of March to become effective from 6 April." Just wondering if the construction was done overnight when the airport was closed then is an AIP Supplement needed if normal operations are not affected when the airport is open ? |

The need would be to ensure that the current runway strip-end and RESA requirements are always available together with the RWY 20 runway approach lighting. |
Thanks TCAS - I assume the RESA requirements during the work would have been checked by CAA in the approval process (which presumably they have). I think any temporary impact on approach lights could be covered by Notam. Stansted seems to be doing this for any lighting downgrade during their present runway work..

Protection in the event of an overrun or undershoot is provided firstly by a "runway strip" which extends 60 metres beyond the end of the runway available for take-off, and before the threshold, ie the earliest point available for landing. Secondly by a RESA which extends for a further minimum of 90 metres beyond the strip end. SOU has a standard 60 metres strip end and the minimum 90 RESA for both runways. The project plan submitted to CAA will have to demonstrate how the strip end and RESA are going to be safeguarded. If one or both cannot, the runway declared distances will need to be temporarily reduced. Reduction of RWY 20 declared distances, involving a reduced LDA, is not really an option as, due to the insetting of a temporary threshold (which is already 45 metres inset from the north end of the runway) it will prevent use of a ILS IAP and will require the expense of provision of temporary PAPIs. Apart from this it will reduce the LDA which could be unacceptable to current scheduled operators, particularly Loganair, KLM and City Flyer. Any reduction of RWY 20 LDA would impact on RWY 02 TORA/ASDA and LDA. Consequently I am waiting with interest to see how AGS are going to manage the strip end and RESA issue, which should be revealed in the AIP Supplement. If it will not be possible to ensure approach lighting for RWY 20 during the project this will require a temporary raising of approach minima for RWY 20, but as we are looking at the weather during summer months this may be tolerable. |

Ahead of this should be the Ops Director's report to the 3 February meeting of the Airport Consultative Committee, for which I understand that the Minutes will be on the EBC website by the end of this week. If all is still on schedule for a 31 March kick-off the "official" notification of the construction project should appear with the next batch of AIP Supplements, which should appear on the NATS AIS website around 28Feb/1 Mar. Total non event with nothing that we did not already know. https://meetings.eastleigh.gov.uk/do...mittee.pdf?T=1 |

As a guess, extra capacity from Aer Lingus and Loganair on BHD/DUB/EDI/GLA/NCL would probably account for about half of that.

EZY flights for W23/24 (Dec-Mar) on sale this Thursday. Apart from GVA do we reckon any further destinations will be added?

You would have to believe that sooner rather than later the airport will want to announce some additional routes in order to justify the new runway financial outlay!

Who do they need to justify it to? Any annoucements will be aimed at maximising bookings.

Few on this thread will know that today marks the retirement of one of Southampton’s longest serving Air Traffic Controllers, David Reynolds. From a young trainee in the 1980s until today he has been a consummate professional which I had the privilege to work with.
A long and happy retirement mate. |
No more F-15s at SOU then! Happy retirement Dave, an ATC legend.

Latest batch of AIP supplements, effective 6 April, published today, nothing related to the runway extension project, however, NATS AIM today also published NOTAM C1514/23
Q)EGTT/QFAAH/IV/BO/A/000/999/5057N00121W005B)2303260530 C)2306262115 E)AD OPERATING HOURS MON-SAT 0530-2100 SUN 0630-2100 ANY EXTENSION TO OPR HR WILL ONLY BE GRANTED IN EXCEPTIONAL CIRCUMSTANCES DUE TO RWY EXTENSION WORKS AND ONLY WITH PERMISSION OF AIRPORT DUTY MANAGER (02380 697924) Could indicate that all or most of the work will take place at night with the RWY strip ends/RESAs restored each day. Awaiting the next instalment! We may get the project unfolding in bite sized portions via NOTAMs rather than an overview via an SI. That said, good to see that things are at last apparently moving |
Southampton - paris orly has appeared within the eastern airways booking engine (although no flts loaded yet).

A "W pattern" on steroids and an operational nightmare to recover when it goes wrong. |
