Runway Watch - Sunday 2 February 2014

A view of the runway from Bickenhill with the (basic) runway extension nearing completion
- the final surface will go on as part of the on-going runway resurfacing project

In the coming week it is planned to move the Runway 33 threshold some 300 metres
to the south so this is a final look at the existing runway configuration and markings

A wider view of the runway extension site....

.... and an action shot with a Monarch Airbus A321 departing, a Ryanair Boeing 737
waiting to line up and a KLM Boeing 737 on final approach to Runway 15

A small section of the (basic) runway extension remains to be completed....

.... with work now in progress on the new parallel taxiway - Taxiway Sierra
