The speculation as to possible increase civil air traffic that have been circulating through CDMAC members are true, to the extent that SLA are in talks with these businesses.

However, in a meeting today, it was made clear that should these plans take place it would not affect our usage of the site at runway 23 and that there was no fear of any restrictions being put in place.The aircraft will still use the south approach and circuit and therefore not affect us at the north.

If any night traffic increases, which is doubtful, it may affect some of the jet fliers that use the main runway on an evening. But since this is a lengthy procedure and stakeholder engagement will be needed if their plans are to go ahead, it will be some years before we see any change, if any.
