Did anyone see the London Luton Airport TV program when the airport authority towed an easyjet aircraft on to stand for the first time? The stand was already painted up but when the aircraft front wheels reached the supposed correct stopping point the tug was hard against the barrier. The aircraft was then pushed back a few feet to allow free movement of service vehicles in front of the stand but the aircraft was then too close to the service road at the back of the stand. The airport authority then kept changing the angle at which the aircraft would come onto stand until they were sort of happy. The operations manager said to camera that it was vital that this stand became operational on May 1st yet it has not. Can’t see a Boeing 737-800 ever parking on this stand.
