What's MARS stand for?

Update.

Forget that. Looked it up. AI seemingly does have its uses. Multiple Aircraft Stand System.

Nothing has been said to indicate this or that the apron generally will be re-marked. That diesnt mean it might not happen though at some point in the apron expansion process.

MARSGR~3.webp

It does offer more flexibility for different sizes of aircraft and it seems like the logical progression for the airport to maximise stand usage.

Don't they already have one stand like that on the existing main apron? The one they used for wide bodied aircraft? You remember wide bodied aircraft? Like narrow bodied aircraft but on steroids. We used to have them once upon a time.

Stands 7 and 8 have visual docking systems but they've been deactivated for years, if that's what you're referring to.

The only stand with a different widebody parking position was 14A, which was decommissioned last year.

Are there any plans yet to move the airside road to behind the stands as they do at most other airports?

And I suppose I should ask, will the stands be MARS equipt and will the stand layout across the entire apron change?

The apron road is staying in the current format at present.

East to West only at the rear and both directions at the head of stands. Apart from 1-7.

My doctor described me as being wide bodied but I suspect he was only being polite!

Will they have to “stand” for a while before use to allow the concrete to cure and reach full strength?

A concrete answer would be appreciated!

I'm guessing Delta taxiway will now have a width restriction?

Not like there are many widebodies travelling up delta currently 😂
 
Further to the runway problems we now have the "no 180's on the runway" in force again.
Aircraft missing the turn off now have to continue to the loop to backtrack.
Also Alpha exit on the runway is closed so aircraft have to backtrack to November to vacate.

I've noticed that stand 12 hasn't been used for departures in the last few days (at least), and on at least 2 occasions the aircraft that parked on stand 12 overnight appears to have been towed to stand 11 for departure. Is there a reason for this?

Since the expansion there isn’t a walkway for stand 12 for the passengers so stand 12 gets used as a remote stand mostly and gets towed in the morning to another stand.

i must be a lunatic. Friday 25th Sept will see me doing a daytrip that involves me leaving my flat in Manchester at 1am and not getting back home until after midnight. All because I'm doing a Loch Ness and Scottish Highlands trip.... out of Glasgow

For some weird reason, my days off work tend to involve being out of my flat by 5am and not getting back until 10pm. Back to work and the regular "fix" of 7.40am to 7.15pm hours
