Work on the extension commenced with a ground-breaking ceremony held on 31 March and attended by the airport’s leadership alongside senior local politicians.Ĭonstruction officially started on site this week with all works taking place overnight to avoid flight disruption. Ultimately, though, the High Court judge threw out the case, saying there were no grounds for the case to go to a hearing. ![]() They argued the council’s decision to approve the works was “unlawfully granted” as the green light was given before the secretary of state for Housing, Communities and Local Government had had time decide whether to call in the application for a public inquiry.

It is said the work is “absolutely critical to its viability as an airport”. The plan to extend the runway by 164m at the northern end, erect a blast screen to the north of the extension and add 600 new spaces in the car park was approved by Eastleigh Borough Council in April 2021. ![]() VolkerFitzpatrick has broken ground on the £17M extension of the runway at Southampton Airport.
