If my memory serves me right,during Taxiway closures in Manila, especially the ones at the end, the countrys Carrier Phil Airlines 747 and 340s(w/c is as lengthy as the 777) are towed into the Runway and the trucks do the turn for them. This Procedure came up during one of their Simulator sessions on the 747, did the 180 turn and found out that its Nose wheel will be touching a portion outside the runway,since then this procedure has been incorporated during taxiway closures on a heavy weight take-off, w/c for sure necessitates a full rwy t/o run. ATC is in coordination, so traffic will be adjusted during the process.
Does Emirates have options to do the same?
