14 hours of Marathon Meeting could not alter the proposed length of Southampton Airport's runway.
164m (538ft) extension to the Runway was debated on Thursday, it carried on till midnight, but the Eastleigh councillors had to adjourn the meeting pending any result.
Now, the debate will continue on the second day to address the concerns of Campaigners & Local Authorities.
The airport authorities see its survival by extending the runway to accommodate narrow body aircrafts such as the Airbus A320 & Boeing B737.
The virtual meeting witnessed dozens of people including residents, councillors, businesses and representative of Southampton Airport voicing their views on the planned project.
The plan includes 600 extra parking spaces in the long-stay car park and a blast screen built to the north of the proposed runway extension.
