The proposed safety improvements will do a little towards restoring lost landing distance suffered in the past. It will do no more than this. Our Civil Aviation Authority Code 2 runway classification can never result in a landing distance exceeding 1,199 metres. Airbus and Boeing type aircraft operated by the popular passenger airlines need in excess of 1,800 metres. News items suggesting that Gloucestershire Airport will compete with Bristol or Birmingham are figments of their writers’ imaginations.
