A contract for Runway and Taxiway Overlay works was completed in December 2002 and a subsequent contract for Apron Repairs work was completed in November 2005. Ongoing surface maintenance is provided as required and the most recent repairs were undertaken in 2021 and 2022. I am advised by the military authorities that there are no plans to have the runways at Casement Aerodrome, Baldonnel resurfaced this year.
