Essendon Runway Works

Tulla refueller tells me that YMEN, is closing next year for a four to six week period so that runway 08/26 can be resurfaced and the Melbourne north -south water main which crosses 17/35 needs to be replaced.

Talk of corporate jets to Avalon, air ambulance moving up to Tulla and the rest moving down to Point Cook.

runway 08/26 can be resurfaced
Huge plus: big investment in asset guarantees long term commitment to YMEN

Huge minus: ongoing unsustainable cash outflows guarantee early demise on economic grounds, put up a parking lot

I think Linfox are committed to both aviation and Essendon Airport. My guess would be that Melbourne water need to replace the main and Linfox have found a way to use that to get Melb Water & / or the government to subsidise a runway upgrade.

I'd view it as a positive thing.
