    Qatar crew were stuck in one of the 2 temporary lifts installed along with the scaffold stairs when the escalators were taken out prior to the new lifts being operational. By the way the 4 new high capacity lifts have buttons inside, press to get to the ground floor and floor 1 along with a...

    Infrastructure, Construction & Developments

    I regularly use these 4 lifts (if all are in use!) to/from staff gate (temp ones have gone). They are on demand and called when you press the button for each lift.

    Think again about the lifts, they on demand by pressing the button like all lifts and they seem to work independently so if you dont press the button the lift dont come, I have seen people only press the middle 2 lifts buttons so only those lift operate and they all pile into them, another pain...

    The lifts are large and the scanners have been in place for ages (but I doubt they will fit the 50+ people each if they have wheeled carry on luggage). They must have to have stairs in case of a fire but I suspect they will be for fire/emergency use only. New scanners or not I feel the queues...

    Had a look at the progress of the new security hall last night, the scanners/tables etc seem to delivered and the lines starting to take shape.

    Ryanair

    I wonder if the Ryanair max 8's will be subject to the same checks as the max 9's ? They have an exit it the same place as the 9's. I suppose it depends whether its just a "plug" installation defect.

    STS Aviation Hangar and Expected Movements

    Spot on. Makes you wonder what the future holds for STS BHX since they bought that great big hangar a MAN. I would certainly say that if MAN hangar was available at the time they would not have taken the ex MON hangar at BHX.
