TUI to Romania and Poland? interesting one.. considering they don't operate there and never have. What they dont know they make up. Old news, boring, just shut up shop

Don't think it's been mentioned but Alpha is closed and undergoing repairs similar to last winter. Approx 9 concrete sections being replaced

Alpha is now open after repair work.

Taxiway Alpha is now closed again! What a farce.

Taxiway Alpha is now closed again! What a farce.

Is it a farce? Why is it closed again?

 

[oldendays]

Considering it was only reopened yesterday and is already closed again, 'farce' is definitely the word I'd use.

I don't know why Alpha is closed again. Hopefully nothing that can't be quickly overcome.

Alpha is now open again.

Hurrah (for now)!

It was closed for the lines to be re painted and the paint to dry.

The stand-taxiway boundary markings between stands 9-18 are being moved this week. This will extend the stands by 5-10m and make taxiway Alpha narrower. I suspect this is to reconfigure the apron road later when the terminal extension is operational.

I don't think they've decided that yet. Before 2030!

 

[oldendays]

The runway extension is 40 years old today.

 

[Finger66]

That's one Jumbo celebration. Oh wait, no it was two!

The runway extension is 40 years old today.

Quite incredible the short length of runway available to aircraft before the runway was extended, although as we know landing distance still remains similar today esp R32 due to the positioning of the TDZ further down the runway.
I bet it was quite a sight stood on harrogate road watching aircraft esp the jets depart R32 just becoming airbourne in time!

More fun standing on Victoria Avenue directly behind a 1-11 or 737 departing off 14.

Whilst viewing a regular live Video stream from LBA on Saturday it was noticeable that several stands are cordoned off outside the terminal and they are full of diggers, lorries and other equipment,.suggesting the imminent start of more overnight runway repairs, it the creation of the two new stands, or both.

I’m guessing some of it is for the new GPU Ground power support units been installed from Stand 7 up to 14 if I remember correctly.

They overnight runway closures don’t commence until November 11th
