0 a long path that aircraft travel along in order to get to or return from a runway (= the place where aircraft take off and land)
During night hours, therefore—when the airport is less congested—the taxiway is being used.
These were the widening of the taxiways and greater turning circles.
Simply putting in a taxiway would almost double the number of movements to 54,000 a year.
Recent projects include a terminal extension, a cargo centre, apron and taxiway improvements and an operational control centre.
The major need at the airport is for a completely new terminal, with a new apron, taxiways and other facilities.
As yet there is no taxiway for the handling of the aircraft.
However, the operation of aircraft of this size is currently constrained by ground obstacles adjacent to the taxiways.
The plans come on top of existing, ongoing developments, such as the extension to the taxiway, a project that is well under way.
