(there have been a few flights with freight only by airlines that are regular MAN customers on scheduled passenger services e.g. EK and I think HU). So there has been a demand for space.
ps thanks 750XL for those comments and the list of charges for aircraft parking.
The explanations offered why RW2 might not be suitable are no doubt valid, but my original point was that the new remote stands could have proved useful were they in use.
