I said could of done with widening the taxiways.
The central taxiway at MME as you will know is an old runway, I was talking about the actual taxiways.
Newquays taxiways are 23m all the way round which I believe is just within for 744 ops! Likewise they have stored A330 which I believe are in the same category. MME on the other hand has taxiways of 10.5m 15m and 35m.
A problem with Bravo could of scuppered the whole visit!

Newquay, I'm saying appears perfectly capable in it's current form to handle and on paper is better suited in some respect than MME!
