Does the airport have ambitious expansion plans?
Gloucestershire Airport has no expansion plan. Work is planned to address long-standing safety issues with close-in obstacles and the runway end safety area to ensure the main runway complies with the current Civil Aviation Authority safety regulations. These obstacles currently represent a hazard to aviation and public safety, and the airport is obliged by the Authority to work towards removing them. Completion of this work will restore around 160 metres of our existing usable runway length to provide an even safer environment for aircraft taking off and landing.
