In 2001 Snows were appointed by the Ministry of Communications and Transport to investigate the causes of the deterioration of the runway's wearing course and to generally rehabilitate the aircraft pavements of the airport including:

• Rearrangement and improvement of the exisiting drainage system to the airside pavements.

• Refurbishment of exisiting AGL

• Extension of runway including AGL and related works

The project, which is financed by the World Bank, includes design and documentation for international bidding and supervision of contract. In conjunction, a runway extension was recommended, which would enable direct flights to Northern Europe thus enhancing the island's potential as a major long haul tourist destination. Furthermore the construction of the extension would simplify the problematic process of rehabilitating a live runway.

Sir Frederick Snow & Partners Ltd. were instructed to carry out the site supervision, which is currently in progress.
