go-egnt [QUOTE] is there anywhere you can find out the max size of aircraft every stand can handle?
Stands
Not sure of a document where you can get this info from, but I will tell you what I can.
Around the Pier
Stand 1 max aircraft B733. Stand 1 also has a diagonal centre line across it, which when in use is called stand 31. Aircraft which use stand 31 are marshalled on to it. Max B737-700.
Stand 2 max B738-A320
Stand 3 Can squeeze an A321 on to it (airbridge)
stand 4 B757-200
Stand 5 B737-700
Stand 6 B737-700
Stand 7 B738-A320
Stand 8 Just been reconfigured to B738-A320. It could take a 757 but the stand has been reshaped to accommodate the installation of the new airbridge on stand 9 (for whoever that may be)
Stand 9 A330-200. Stand 9 also has another centre line running down the side of it where we can park a 747, this is stand 30. When a 747 is on this stand it takes stands 8 + 9 up.
Stand 10 B767-300 (airbridge)
Stand 11 B767-300
Stand 12 B738-A320
Moving remote
Stand 13 B757 (wash stand)
Stand 14 B757 (wash stand)
Stand 15 B734 (wash stand)
Stand 16 we sqeezed a B777 on this stand last year when we had the 3 big diversions from LHR. (when a well known catering firm went on strike).
Stand 17 B767-300
Stand 18 B734 (this stand is getting made bigger as part of the winter works. I think it will be-able to handle a B737-7 0r 800 size)
Stand 19 has just this summer been reconfigured to handle a B738-A320 (I think)
Stand 20 B757-200
Stand 21 B767-300
Stand 22 B747-400 / A340. We also have stands 22L and 22R built within Stand 22. These are both capable of handling B734
Stand 23 B757
In between the blast barriers and stand 13 there is stands 32L + 32R these are both JS41.
Stands 50-54 are generally used for buisness jets for Samson.
South Side (freight)
Stand 60 B738
Stand 61 B738
Stand 62 B738
There is going to be a lot of winter works this year and a number of the remote stands dimensions will be changing. Also 2 new stands getting built north of stand 18 (behind stand 19). I think loco size.
Hope this helps you get a better understanding of Newcastle!!
