The answer, right now, during peak summer - no. It only takes a couple of delayed aircraft to create chaos. Sure they have remote stands but this then requires busses. EDI only have 6 in total. Twice a week a Hainan 333 occupies a wide-body stand for nearly 6 hours. Surely the aircraft can be towed to a remote stand to free up a gate?
