It’s also beyond our comprehension for the local’s. A cheap and horribly looking embarrassment!

T2 is definitely not finished, not sure if the airport have stated it is, or the media outlets are making that assumption but there’s still plenty of work to do both internally and externally on the airfield.

No, the media are getting it wrong as usual! The old T3 check in areas will become part of T3 departures. There is nothing additional of T1 being incorporated into the current T3. That was already done with the current Ryanair baggage drop and security areas which are ex T1.

Fog at Heathrow.

I know I’ve said this before, but once the cargo sheds have been demolished (which I hope is sooner rather than later!) then surely work can start on a partial extended apron before this realignment of Runger Lane starts? There was talk on the airport’s podcast last year about 20 new stands...

Could well be, I did have a look on Google maps but surprisingly it’s not showing, it still shows a snapshot of it being built. I walked along Avro Way turning right towards the Romper pub, so must have missed Swissport then.

Extended apron is needed first, I hope work can start on this before September next year!

Thanks again for the info. Interesting ref the Air France A220 but I certainly understand why MAG don’t want the aircraft at T2, so makes complete sense. All we need now is for the works on taxiway Delta to start so we can again get back to a dual taxiway system as originally intended.

Hello, On the airport’s website car parking section within the T&C’s I found some phone numbers. Here is the link...

Interesting and yes, maybe airfield ops have now structured the allocations of stands for specific airlines. I had noticed easyJet using Pier A the majority of the time anyway. It seems BA and EasyJet use Pier A for their domestic flights (easyJet also has the flights to/from the CTA...

Be interesting to see if tomorrow’s 747 will use a remote stand or contact stand in T2 (if available of course). My bet is on stand 12, so potentially a first at MAN, two Lufthansa 747’s side by side.

Thanks for the clarification. I hope MAG will be debriefing on these type of issues.

There were 4 diversions to Liverpool, another Jet2 from Rhodes. These closures are becoming much more frequent…

Yes, of course. My thinking was of an expected new route by a specific US carrier or a new route by Virgin to the US, but I appreciate that going East is the way forward right now, rather than the West. Although any type of increase and / or new service is very welcome. We are short of African...

Many thanks as always for your valuable info and feedback @CCGE29. My reason for the comment ref Swissport and their new residence was that around 6 weeks ago I walked past the cargo / freight sheds along World Way en route to the viewing park and walking past the new Swissport building I...
