Southampton Airport - General Thread

[Jerry]

LCY seems to be hugely successful despite runway constraints??? I'm not objecting to SOUs proposal btw

In general Southampton is with most of the market focusing on domestic connections and regional France and some Spanish routes but it is limited in the aircraft in can take and the range of those aircraft. The extension should help with that and hopefully increase Easyjet flights from it.

Recommended for approval by the planning officer. I’m not familiar with the make up of the local authority so I don’t know how likely it is to be approved.

Airport expansion recommended for approval - BBC News

Council officers say an application to extend the runway at Southampton Airport should be passed.

The local planning committee's determination of the airport's planning application to extend its runway began this morning and is still going on. There have been some breaks in the day but the council has now provisionally allotted extra time for the matter to be concluded tomorrow if necessary.

I posted an update about the extension this morning: https://forums4airports.com/threads/5754/ figured it might be a good idea to post a new thread so it could be promoted to the homepage, if not it can be merged in here

Good idea. Further comment about the subject can be made in your thread.

Hadn't quite realised the scale of BA Cityflyers weekend operations at SOU. There are currently 8x overnighting E190s in SOU, along with an Eastern AT76 & E190 making 10x aircraft total. Theres only 11/12 commercial stands in SOU, so it must be quite an impressive sight.

I have a fried who uses SOU, he said the aircrafts come from LCY and they are offeting quite a range of destinations now from SOU.

Good news for Southampton. With BOH getting a new Jet2 base next year, they need to increase their number of flights.
