which english airports have been upgraded for it with gates and termianls?
(sic)
Well, Heathrow and Gatwick, for starters. Here at LGW we're spending loads on fillets on runway turnoffs, extended runway shoulders etc ready in case we get a diversion in early next year. Heathrow have built a whole new facility on Terminal 3 and already done the runway/taxiway work, all ready to go. LGW will get the Terminal infrastructure next year ahead of possible 2007 schedules.
Not only that, but our RFFS is gearing up for it, too.
Can't speak for other English airports such as Manchester...
