Re combining work be least worst scenario .
Its just a partition wall anyway.
Ozzy the presence of Ryanair IS the fundamental issue; too many peaks and troughs through at terminal designed (prior the the eastern extension) for a quite different purpose.
The core building infrastructure that is T3 (BA and originally T1a Domestic) is simply not of a size nor ergonomically designed with a four wave 19 aircraft 189 seat operation in mind.
As for split operation what would you be talking about here?
Towing aircraft from one pier to another happens thousands of times round the world
Indeed bussing happens right now at this very airport !
Oh and as many carriers sub contract ground handling what differences does it matter whether at 46 11, or 206 to the crew to be honest .
