Who pays for airport repairs?
Airport infrastructure, including runways, is typically owned and maintained by the airport operator itself. This means Bristol Airport, as the operator, would be responsible for funding the emergency repairs. Costs can be significant, covering materials, specialist labour, and the economic impact of closures, which can run into millions depending on the severity and duration of the work.
