The airport invested £28.4 million on capital projects during the financial year - up from £19.3 million
in the previous year - including the 400 metre runway extension, the resurfacing of the existing runway,
improved airfield drainage and infrastructure work for the new hangar for Monarch Aircraft Engineering
Looking forward to 2014/15 the extended runway went into service in May 2014 and driven by the
expansion of new routes and services, many operated by flybe, the passenger numbers are now at
record levels for the first time since before the recession started in 2008 with the airport on target
to handle over 10 million passengers for the first time in 2015/16
