Manchester Airport runway work to begin
29.03.10
Manchester Airport is to start a programme of taxiway improvements and maintenance that will see planes use runway two during the night from April 11 until August 13. Runway two is normally only used during the day, with runway one used at night.
An airport spokesman said: ‘The airport is due to carry out which will involve widening a number of taxiways to reflect the more modern and large aircraft types now using Manchester Airport. The programme will require 18 weeks of night time runway closures to complete. Runway two will be used as the sole runway between 22:30 and 06:00 hours between Sunday and Thursday from 22:30 hours on Sunday, April 11 until 06:30 hours on Friday, August 13 2010.'
The airport sent letters to local homeowners last week, detailing the work and when it will be carried out. For more information on the works visit manchesterairport.co.uk/runwayclosures.
