Thanks Merchant venture
Yep I believe all the ramp as been reconfigured since I was there.
I still think they need additional ramp space.
Totally agree ref Filton what an airport it would be if BRS was relocated there.
Funny enough I was working there when the A310 used to arrive on the Sat mornings as its timing coincided with one of our departures.
Only 4-5 ULDs used to be offloaded from the forward hold so never a need for so much equipment, however a fully laden 767 with the constraints of connection bags and other problems would be a challange for the guys there right now.
Im just looking at the negatives from an airline point of view.
As mentioned above AA was limited on runway performance with a 767 -300 at BHX. Whilst working in BHX I heard many storys regarding this so I think BRS is still limited.
CO has got to be the best option, I think that will probaly be the new airline. After all a 757 is a very easy aircraft to turnaround considering BRS facilitys.
How far do you think they could go with the runway extension?? 400 ,metres at most. Im sure the NIMBYS or should i say 4 houses that are affected at the end of 27 will not like the governments recent recommendations.
Any knowledge of the above plans??
Anyway nice to see BRS in the news again.
