No sooner had we got the lawn looking nice, than we dug it up again!
Broke ground for the new pier on Tuesday.
When I've spoken to Chilli Monster and found out how to upload the photo, I'll give it a go.
I'm with bmibaby.com regarding the airbridges though. Given that the pier will not be huge, airbridges attached to the pier would probably only be able to serve a couple of stands, and then only for departing pax, since arrivals would still need to be bussed to the far end of the terminal. A lot of outlay for very little practical gain. I reckon the airport have got it about right on this one - a cheap, efficient, practical extension, without a vast expenditure on frills. (& it will only be single storey anyway).
Oh, and it's not primarily aimed at lo-co operators either. Should serve the '40' stands in the November cul-de-sac and probably one or two of the '30s' as well, which will save a lot of bussing for departing pax.
And watch out, Almost Prof - I heard today that there might well be 7 based RYR aircraft by the end of next year.
