That website page seems rough & ready and 1/2 baked photoshop re airfield imagery. All the website page tiles have links that go nowhere. WIP...

Interesting that we can clearly see a link over to T1 and C Pier with a good 50% of the satellite pier gone altogether! Wondering if this too will become part of T2?!

 

[BlueManc]

Can you photoshop a few KC135's, C17's, C130's and a C5M on there.

For pax checking in at T2 but departing from T1 Pier B or C, that would be quite a hike along the link shown. Plenty of moving travelators we trust.

While trying to hide from an audit coming my way.
Midpoint Pier 1 to midpoint T3 = just short of a mile.
Midpoint Atlanta's first pier to pier E = just short of a mile.

Knock it all down and start again

Can think of a few like that CDG involves rapid transport and Dallas was a huge walk from one end to the other which we had to do

Going back to my comment about airbrushing pier 3 but not changing anything else, the pier C satellite was potentially going to be removed to allow full clearance to pier 3 (via taxiway hotel)- which has now disappeared.

I will be visiting MAN this weekend via T2 on Friday...I will report back with my latest experience.
Not been to T2 since early November last year...is there any new updates to the progress on the overall TP?

 

[Scottie Dog]

Still no news being received by myself however I hope you enjoy your visit and are possibly able to give us your feedback.

Airport has a new YouTube video but what’s more interesting is what’s in the background. Legacy side check in escalators being removed. Legacy departures new layout. And this

I didn't see that graphic in the YouTube video, Marni. Can you share where you got it from?

The YouTube video I found was this one:

This appears to be the new legacy side upper departure level. Assuming orange is shopping / food and obviously cream is passenger flow, bottom right do they really plan on having access to the legacy pier - and maybe eventually pier 3 - by exiting the building into an external structure, go down a level, then turn around and go back into the main building?

 

[Scottie Dog]

A small update can be found in the NOTAM/OAN thread which relates to the new VCC being built around stands 209/210.

 

[marni1971]

Forgot I had this. Might be of some interest.

Over the last year or so before T2 work began I took a lot of photos inside, both land and air side. This was the timetable as it stood in 2019 (on display airside)

 

[Scottie Dog]

Hopefully I'll shortly be able to give an update on Pier 2 work. I've got appointments in the morning but will, if all goes to plan, be back on the laptop around lunchtime.

 

[Scottie Dog]

Promised OAN 22 is now available on the NOTAM/OAN thread

Manchester Airport's Twitter site has, today, published these comparison photos of the Arrivals corridor on T2 - presumably from around Gate 201 onwards.

I think you captions are backwards !

I think you captions are backwards !

Possibly - I've never actually flown through T2 and just assumed (dangerous I know) that the photos were as I said.

I'm happy to be corrected.
