Yes the airport expansion is going ahead, at the expence of the flying centre I fly from, we have had to move south side as they need the room 🙁 but the owner had a 25 year lease on the building so they had to pay him a large amount of money to move.
I can’t see the runway being extended for a very long time yet as they would have to tunnel the A38 underneath it, and there is already so much pressure from nearby residents about the noise already present which kind of cheeses me off somewhat, these people are hypocrites, these people are the very type of people who will board an aircraft to go on holiday/business which means somebody, somewhere will have to listen to the noise of the aircraft that they are flying on but dont like it if its in their own back yard, still thats life.
