The work on the 3km long runway will take place at night to minimise the impact on the local community and airport operations.
Over the course of the project, around 50,000 tonnes of asphalt will be laid over an area the size of 25 football pitches, and 1,300 runway lights will be replaced with LEDs. Work will be carried out five nights a week between Saturday and Wednesday.
In the first 11 weeks, the runway will be closed between midnight and 6am, while in phase two it will remain open but at a reduced length to allow flights to continue operating.
