runway extension
A runway extension involves lengthening an existing airport runway to accommodate larger or more aircraft, or improve safety and efficiency during takeoff and landing. Extending a runway can involve building new pavement, relocating nearby structures, or improving adjacent areas for better aircraft maneuvering. This process helps airports handle increased traffic, reduces delays, and allows for larger aircraft to operate safely. Extensions are carefully planned to consider environmental impact, land use, and airport operations, ensuring the airport remains safe, efficient, and capable of supporting future growth.
