A340 is much longer than the A300 and A330.
Max size a/c for stand 7 is 767, A330 or DC10
On Zoom's site :
For services to/from Gatwick, we expect to operate flights to their original schedule, but arriving and departing at Cardiff instead of Gatwick. [Other airports in the London area including Heathrow and Stansted will also be affected by the strike and so will also be closed.] We will be providing coach transfers for customers between Gatwick and Cardiff to meet the flights’ arrival and departure check-in times.
I'm surprised theres been no announcements from the charters at STN and LGW. TOM/FCA/TCX/MYT/XLA all have an extensive operation more so at LGW including majority of long haul for winter.
Be interesting to see how these days go if the airport is allowing as much traffic as possible. With 1 or 2 decent high loaders for all these heavies?
Enough steps big enough to allow access to 747/A340?
3 buses with probably one driver?
A baggage belt that cant cope with a few 757's and 737's
