Chilli,
Regarding the stands - would those buses need to be moved? There doesn't seem to be much space between the back of the MYT '20 and the buses to have another 73 or 20 parked on 33??
oh and......
this is a really stupid question from someone that knows little,
but at an airport like EMA with no airbridges, why could aircraft not be parked at a 45 degree angle to the terminal front, so when it is time to depart they can just do a right hand turn and pull away.
lol - I am sorry, that question totally reveals that I have very little idea what goes on in the pointy bit at the front of planes!!
And why not get them buses shifted permanently so the aircraft parked in stands 31-33 can just taxi forward and then turn right for Twy Q?
