Manchester Airport runway refurbishment could take a year
11.11.09
The planned refurbishment of Manchester Airport’s main runway could take up to a year, bosses have revealed in an online video about work that will cause night flights to be diverted for several months. Simon Butterworth, head of airfield strategy and compliance, said the project could take between 10 months and a year, but could not give an exact length or dates for the closure, because of issues such as materials and methods that had not yet been resolved.
Bosses plan to shut the airport’s main runway at night next year for refurbishment, rewiring and the replacement of lights. Mr Butterworth said: ‘At the moment the real answer is that we don’t know exactly. There are a lot of variables still involved in the planning process that we’re going through with the contractors, or potential contractors.’
