Skyman771 - ...To have a second pier close to the terminal you would have to build it north of stands 13-16 with further stands to the north of that, this is the area that falls away sharply! You cannot build taxi/apron with too much slope!
Probably can't, but then you have changed tack, ie thats it's not the construction of a second pier that is the issue, what you are now suggesting is that insofar as future development of NCL is concerned, then as there is a slope to the north of 13-16 then in that area at least expnasion has reached it's limit ?
the last two flights (transatlantic) from Manch we had to wait 40+min each time on arrival for a stand!!
I note your support of NCL in travelling all the way to MAN, an incidentally irrelevant point in this discussion
