Work has begun on TAG Aviation’s major redevelopment of Britain’s Farnborough airfield as a dedicated business aviation airport. The goal is to secure the required civil airport license for Farnborough (EGLF) by the end of December next year, with work on the new executive terminal and a first set of three hangars likely to be completed by mid-2003.
Under way already are a new air traffic control tower and the redevelopment of Runway 07/25. Most runway work will be conducted at night, but to expedite the project TAG has opted for three weekend closures at the airport over the following dates: August 18 to 19, August 25 to 27 and September 8 to 9. During the construction period, taxiway closures will be indicated with illuminated signs and controllers will advise on any temporary restrictions. The runway should be finished by the end of December and the tower by the end of next year.
