The new runway extension planned for Ronaldsway Isle of Man Airport will stand up to any severe weather conditions which could be expected on the Island.
Transport Minster David Anderson told the House of Keys that he was confident that modelling of the proposed scheme at Ronaldsway showed it would be a robust and effective design, suitable for the area.
Onchan MHK Peter Karran had raised the issue, as a similar project in Shetland had suffered storm damage earlier this month.
Whilst agreeing that the promontory at Sumburgh was similar in design, Mr Anderson said they had NOT carried out any modelling:
Southern Amenity Site changes disposal policy for residents to six bags a month
Island's economy 'not in the same context' it was 18 months ago
Inmate 'likely died hours before being found'
Roadshow turnout shows public has 'lots of concern'
CCTV across schools being actively looked at
Bishop's vote and assisted dying on Keys agenda
