I'm spending more time on the apron these days and my real concern is the lack of boarding and arrival gates commensurate with the number of stands. It's not uncommon now for a competition to arise between handling agents to embark or disembark their flights first and consequently for pax to be stuck on their aircraft or in the departure lounge. Add the complications of pax requiring wheelchair assistance and coach boarding/disembarkation and you've got a real farce. It would be funny if it didn't reflect so badly on our airport.

Sorry but this sort of thing really gets up my nose. God knows what the passengers must think sometimes.
