The move, which features in a proposed capital portfolio for the next four years published by the island’s Policy & Resources Department this week, would enable larger planes to land in Guernsey.
A formal bid to extend the runway was submitted by Economic Development last year.
At the time, committee vice president and long-term runway proponent Jan Kuttelwascher said a business case about the merits of the project would be drawn up.
He estimated a £30-million price tag to create a 1,720-metre runway, which would be slightly longer than Jersey’s.
No cost-estimates for individual projects for the capital portfolio have been included at this stage.
