[QUOTE="SoundMan, post: 6918078, member: 28532"] Dear sweet baby jebus - you really ARE that thick. Yes we all know there are two strips one roughly perpendicular to the other in order to deal with the winds which of course change. The question asked was why over the years was the secondary (minor) strip not built up so as to be able to cater for bigger planes (not the biggest but at least have some viable flights) while the main runway was put completely out of action for a full 10 weeks? Doesn't need to stretch all the way out to the houses (and I think there's a stream on the wester fringe too) or the roundabout but it could be widened as well as extended a bit. If the secondary strip is functional for use in landing and taking of when winds aren't favourable for the main strip, then surely it can be used a lot of the time as a back up rather than pulling the plug on flights in and out of the Airport. And will this 10 week shut down be a feature of Cork Airport every decade or so on future upgrades or will they actually be better prepared in the future? [/QUOTE]
