Terminal 3 parking

Hello 'AE

Terminal Three has two new 'remote' stands at the eastern edge of the apron numbered 56 and 57. Terminal 3 flights also often get parked on SB1, 2 and 3 (South Bay, south of the cul de sac). I'm not sure if remote parking ever extends further than this (ie stands off taxiway November/Delta) although it might well do, I'm sure someone else will tell you if it does.

I'm not sure if the 'push and park' operation is still in place? Basically this entailed the pushing back of aircraft on T3 airbridge stands and then parking remote off taxiway Juliet abeam Juliet Sierra until slot time. This then allowed other aircraft to take the vacated airbridge stands and avoid the need for remote parking. I'm not sure whether that's still being done, although looking at the new aerodrome chart for Manchester there seem to have been some stands allocated in this area, possibly for that purpose:
