2005
2015
2030
Passenger Numbers
1.84million
3.05 million
6 million
Commercial Air Traffic Movements
43,900
62,000
96,300
Aircraft parking stands
12
18
26
Car parking spaces
2575
4025
7250

Other possible developments are only being discussed informally. These include:


Much of this development falls into what is called 'permitted development' (Town & Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 1995, Article 2 and Schedule 2). The airport would be expected to publish a consultation document, and all development at the airport requires permission from the CAA, but no planning application to Eastleigh Borough Council is needed. A planning application would be needed major building/construction projects would require a planning permission from Eastleigh Borough Council, for example a second terminal building of over 500m2 or an extension to the existing one of over 15%.

There are no controls on increases in air transport movements beyond regular air traffic control.
