I'm assuming this will mean all Pier B departures will be accessed from T3 from when EasyJet and Ryanair share the pier then? That is of course if T1 Departures from the Duty Free area and Pier C are still planned to close? Will be interesting how they send passengers into Pier B from T3 if so.

I guess this also means EZY will stay in T1/T3 with Ryanair for the time being as well? Still hearing mixed things if they're going to T2 or staying in T1/T3, though with the proposed stand changes above I think the amount of stands should be enough for both carriers, providing they still drag some over from remote stands during the morning rush like they do currently.
There has been a change of heart from MAG. T1 to remain open now. EZY to move to check in zone B in the new year. Ryanair to move from T3 over to T1 latest June 25 - they will take the current EZY check in area. T3 airside will remain accessed via southern front as it was just after Covid.

T3 will be used for arrivals only. Departures level will be closed and initially mothballed. Original plan was to keep T3 open by extending security accross the existing stand 18 however the floor of the original security is not capable of taking the weight of the new scanners required by the CAA. This extension has now been binned off as too costly. The security in T1 is able to have the new scanners as it was built as an extension during the last T1 developments back in 2007.

Stands 29 & 31 at C pier will be reconfigured to code C max with the inner bridge on 31 and outer bridge on 29 to be removed in January.

As previously noted, plans are changing on a weekly basis.

There was certainly pier B access from the southern front for the 1994 Superhub; I’d assume it’s still usable if not in use.
Indeed still connected however now used as T1 domestics (Gates 34-36).

That’s some big news! Albeit a right mess by the sounds of it. Thanks
 
Stand 12 will remain for the time being. It can accommodate 2x code C or 1 code F. So will remain in use for EZY as 12L/12R.

With additional based aircraft next summer easyJet and Ryanair will share Pier B. Reconfigured stands 16 & 17 will also accommodate 2 additional code C aircraft with the removal of stand 18 (currently used for winter vehicle storage). This is planned for spring 25.

Stand 57 is also to become a contact stand in the spring with a series of bus shelter style tunnels installed from the original gate 56.

Biometrics installation is ongoing in T2 ready for both BA & EI to move over in 2025.

As always though, plans change by the day at MAN.
Assuming airbridge will be decommissioned?

Thank you for the update. Yes the last I heard was that T1 Departures landside and T3 departures airside & Arrivals were to stay open with T1 departures airside and Arrivals and T3 departures landside closing, so interesting that they're now planning to keep T1 airside open.

I believe Security B was added post 2007 so I assume with the new planned works, both Security A and Security B in T1 will get the new scanners? Of course subject to change.
 
Why not consolidate departures in T1 around Security A? It provides for a much more passenger-friendly layout. The low ceiling in Security B is so claustrophobic and you’re carrying luggage downstairs and then back up stairs.

Especially for saying it’s so old, the passenger flow in T1 (with Sec A) I would say is actually superior to any of the other terminals!

Removal of 29 and 31 airbridges for dual taxiway assumed. Wonder if all airbridges will be removed from Pier C. Won't be in use by Ryanair or Easyjet!

Shame airport developing into ramshackle, hotchpotch of old and new derelict and obsolete. Never going to be classy looking master piece as was first envisioned by artist impressions of T2 transformation. All steel, glass, sweeping logical aprons and stands!
 
Yeah I meant both security and check in - why not consolidate both upstairs at point A?
The only thing I don't like about Departures A is that it can get pretty crowded. While the hall is wide it's not very long, and the lack of space really can cause a lot of congestion around the EasyJet bag drop desks. It's been slightly better lately with some EasyJet staff now at the check-in desks but it's still busy. Not sure if Ryanair would do the same. Whilst it's been a very long time since I've used Departures B (aside from Security B), we usually arrive via JetParks 3 so we're on the ground floor anyway, so I personally would be fine with having Check-in downstairs as we'd have to go up regardless.

I don't think I've ever seen boarding from the ground at Pier C so not sure if it's possible unless it's from remote? I'm sure EasyJet would be fine to use the airbridges there still, which also may explain why Ryanair will only share Pier B next year.
 
No, both bridges can be used independently on two different aircraft so will remain.
Suspect airbridges will be decommissioned. Ryanair and Easyjet won't be using!!! Likely all airbridges will go on T3, redundant and no point maintaining. Airports and airtravel going retrograde!
 
Couldn't it be a bit restrictive if they do not have enough stands with airbridges for the "legacy" carriers?
 
If the airlines don`t want airbridges not much point in keeping them in sitin

Other than BA no one uses them in T3. Can't see Easyjet using on Pier C Assuming all other carriers moving to T2? Although can't envisage props using T2, Loganair etc......
 
Good point.
Correct. Ground level boarding not really feasible at Pier C.

easyJet will happily use the airbridges - indeed they already use them. Like I said earlier, no current plans to remove the airbridges at 12L/R.

For now bridges on 41-43 & the unused bridge on 18 will also be removed in the not too distant future.

Stand 31 inner bridge and 29 outer bridge will however be removed in January, this is to accommodate the re-aligned taxiway Echo. Taxiway Echo will run alongside taxiway Delta to the end of the latest pier where Delta will join Echo.

This also involves the removal of stands 63-69. Lighting has already been installed for this taxiway.

In the new year the first of 11 new airbridges will be installed on the latest pier. The new stands 306/310/314 will all be code F capable though only 1 airbridge will be installed at 314.

Provisions were also made for a further airbridge to be installed at B11 (the odd pepperpot/node that was built in the same phase as the B gates)

Thanks for the info.
I count 12 airbridge’s (stand 315 doesn’t have), which is the other stand without?
Double airbridge’s on stands 306/310/311/305.

Info I am referring to taken from ringway reports on instagram.

As I understand it no bridge on 315, one on 303, 309 and 314, and two on 305, 306, 310 and 311. Plus the mentioned further single bridge on the preexisting pepper pot (302 or 4?)

Interesting info thank you. Thanks for your continued input!

Are they holding back on a bridge on 302/4(?) for future growth? Or are Jet2 doing a sit-in in the old temporary bussing building ?!

Hi, I was born and lived in B36 for a long time - Lindale Avenue, just around the corner from Hodge Hill Comp.
I just noticed your postcode on a post.

Do you still live in the area?
survived a redundancy scenario where I work for the 2nd time
If you’re tired of takeoffs, you’re tired of life.
49 trips undertaken last year. First done this year which was to North Wales where surprisingly the only slippery surfaces were in Conwy with the castle and it's walls closed due to the ice.
