A TECHNICAL director for the independent consultant which produced a report on the options for the airport development has said that, in the event of an accident, Emas provided an advantage.

THERE was a time when independent reports were the last word in an argument.

A LOT of noise is coming from the west at the moment about the airport.

AN EMAS aircraft-arrester bed could be installed much closer to the western end of the runway than was supposed in an independent report, according to the manufacturer.

ALTERNATIVE technology for Guernsey’s runway end safety areas is a serious option, the director of Civil Aviation has said.
