Continued use of ground level as a short term stop-gap whilst final movements to T2 take place makes sense if that’s the plan. Surely moving all to departures A / security A must be the long term plan?! As well as being a more positive passenger experience, I’d assume more economical as well - less staff/equipment/heating/lighting cost?
Next Friday I will, all being equal, be attending the Manchester Airport Consultative Committee meeting as an observer. If anything if interest is discussed I'll do my best to ensure that you're made aware of it.
Would be costly resigning and painting new stand numbers!
Please see my post #1,263.
Indeed it is. Hopefully I'll hear something when the MANTP update is given.
Aurigny from Feb 9th. "Arrivals from Guernsey" signs are up pointing at the boarded off area next to T2 egates
Pier 4 is unlikely anytime soon; it would need the removal of all of pier C, and was part justified with an airside T1 link. To be of full use it would also need some of T1s removal. Pier 3 however if built correctly is a no brainer.
I suppose there is a chance 315 could be used which is on the end of the pier. No airbridge but at least no bus either. 314 is also a black sheep, it is air bridged but so far renders suggest the connecting link is only at the arrivals level. Possibly using stairs in the pier as opposed to in the node? Either way good news! There’s also mention of a shop on the pier.
With Pier 2 not ready until end of May (?) they have to be on a bussed stand I’d have thought.
