THE final planning obstacles appear to have been overcome in Stobart Air's bid to develop Carlisle Airport.
Company boss Andrew Tinkler and Carlisle City Council leader Mike Mitchelson have agreed a revised list of conditions for the multi-million pound plan.
The deal now paves the way for the city's planning committee to approve the development when it meets next Friday (April 25).
Agreement came after four days of negotiations to salvage the project. Mr Tinkler had threatened to abandon his airport ambitions and move the Stobart haulage empire to Widnes.
