Feb 07, 2020 (newstodate): Sweden's Jonkoping Airport has now completed one major step in its development plan, attaining the coveted Code 4E standard.
   The new certification will allow for operating larger freighter and passenger aircraft types including Boeing 787, Airbus A330 and similar wide-body aircraft, which has so far required dispensation in each case.
   The runway upgrading projects have included construction of a larger turning space at each end of the runway as well as improved taxiways between runway and apron areas.
   Other improvements comprise a new JET A1 fuelling facility, and construction from spring 2020 of a new airport vehicles garage to relieve surface traffic on the platform,  
    Next in the pipeline are new aircraft parking stands to be completed by Spring 2020, including two dedicated freighter parking stands in front the air cargo terminal to ease handling of cargo shipments between aircraft and terminal.
