Dec 04, 2009 (newstodate): The pre-qualification round of the tender for extension of the runway at the Faroe Islands' Vagar Airport runway has drawn many responses.
10 bidders among engineering and construction companies in the Faroe Islands, Denmark, Norway and Iceland have handed in their initial offers, and a decision on the project will be made before the end of week 51, 2009.
By extending the existing 1,250m runway eastwards by 350m and by another 200m westwards, the runway will be able to accommodate larger aircraft, including Atlantic Airways' new Airbus A319 that is slated for delivery in 2011.
