The strategic and local importance of the airport to this area is recognised and in order to reach its potential as a local regional airport, it is essential that the airport is able to expand. Of particular importance is the need to extend the runway (as this would increase its attractiveness to fixed based operators), provide new passenger facilities, a park and ride facility and new train station to serve the airport; only with these essential improvements will the airport be able to transport the anticipated capacity of 2 million passengers per annum.
