There are 4 high capacity lifts that can take up to 55 people up to departures, the rail link and offices etc. When there are queues they only use any one of the lifts at a time for departure passengers and they often put less that 10 departure passengers in at at time because of the restricted space upstairs due to the ongoing construction. At the same time a lane next to the passenger queue is available for people to access the lifts for the rail link and staff areas. There must be some stairs but I don't know where.If the only way through was via one lift, then the entire airport should be closed as it is not fire compliant. Does it not have any stairs?

Firstly, I fully support BHX having a 10.000ft/3,000m runway. As for the B747-400F's departing, were they loaded? The flights from HKG to BHX have intermediate stops and are at a relatively low altitude (below FL300), which would indicate a heavy load.I’m pretty sure we wouldn’t have been able to handle some of the 747s that have departed directly to Hong Kong.
The Korean air charter, departed directly back to Seoul, which is a bit closer and I’m not 100% sure if it could have done that off the old runway length. But I think it would have been unlikely.
I think he means 'turmoil', not 'term oil', but I still don't understand what he is referring to. Maybe, he will give us a more detailed explanation.Hi there Just Love Planes, what do you mean by, we are in term oil council and local authorities.
As I said, no-one is discussing a future runway extension (there is absolutely no need). We are discussing whether the current runway extension is now paying back it's construction costs, with the extra long haul cargo services that are operating.The runway is now 3,052m (10,013ft) long and I believe 46m (151ft) wide with hard shoulders. The hard shoulders prevent the outer engines of the likes of A380's and B747's from overhanging the grass. These dimensions are typical of most airports around the world that offer long haul flights (although there are some airports e.g. LHR which have longer runways).Sorry I’ve had a few to drink so I’m talking nonsense about oil .However there was a mention about extension to the runway for the 747 in the forum somewhere posted yesterday (Saturday )
If their is an extension for extra runway length and width then I think it would be disastrous.
