Skipness One Echo: who handles BA at Newcastle?
Swissport
The new stands will be capable of accommodating up to a B738.
NCL doesn't have to be avaliable for a diversion point. What I mean by that is. NCL is open 24/7 but will normally only accept divs if they can be accommodated on the ground. I.e stand avaliablity, handling agent ect. There wouldn't be stands kept empty on the off chance of a div, infrequent as they are.
If aircraft were ever to be parked south side then thay would have to be towed north side for departrure as the samson area isn't a RZ. Can't get anything bigger than a F100/Bae 146 on Fox apron.
