The needed works took place to guarantee consent with the UK's specialist aircraft regulator, the United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority’s
(CAA) revised recommendations for UK runway safety specifications.
The project, designed, managed and now completed by
TPS has not only improved future safety for current aircraft and passengers using the airport facilities, but now also allows mid size short-to-medium range airliners such as Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 jets to perform at the airport with full payloads, thanks to improvements to the existing facilities and main runway.The huge project saw some 50,000 tonnes of sand at a time applied into the infill area by the giant dredging vessel, Pearl River. The sand was dredged from the seabed of the Irish Sea in the Morecambe bay area and the vessel worked round the clock shifting 3 loads every day.
