Its what the LBA forumers have named them. They're not hugely popular at Leeds but you can't win, people complained when there was no shelter, now they complain about the shelter. Thankfully though, most stands don't require it anymore. Does Liverpool have any plans to replace it at some point...

With Manchester's Terminal 2 transformation project well into its final stages, the airport is a completely different beast compared to five years ago. The goal was to create a world-class mega-terminal and finally phase out the ageing Terminal 1. For those who have flown out of the newly...

Heathrow has just revealed that the cost of simply preparing and submitting its revised Development Consent Order (DCO) planning application for the third runway is now estimated to hit a staggering £800 million. Around £400 million was spent before the Grimshaw-designed project was paused in...
