Could not an emergency road crossing be provided across the taxiway between the bridge and the fire station? No doubt I will be ridiculed here but in Gibraltar the main road onto the rock crosses the Runway.
It seems not - something to do with security and restricted/controlled zones, we're led to believe
Strange how Gibraltar, which is a British territory is exempt
That's the whole point - the design of LTN's Central Terminal Area was drawn up and implemented during the time when the Airport was owned and operated by LBC, and the mangement involved, employed by LIA. The plans were also approved by LBC and the Highways Authority. So the fault doesn't just lie with former LTN's former thoroughly inept mangement
That's right, Luton ATC also played their part. The CTA was meant to be a lot larger with the taxiway over the road located around where the Holiday Inn Express ends and their extended car park begins. Luton ATC objected so an opportunity was lost. I even have an artist impression somewhere that shows a BA Express ATR42 crossing the road close to the Ibis Roundabout.
Just think how big the CTA could have been if the bridge had not been shifted.
