Is the current airbridge equipped stand capable of accommodating a A321? Or will NCL get more airbridges?!!!
Strange post Why should an airbridge that has handled A320's, 757,737's & other types, have a problem with an A321? In any event I seem to recall that A321's have operated the LHR on many instances in the past presumably served by the existing airbridge that BA actually paid for themselves.
As for any further airbridges, I doubt that any further additions are imminent. Given that the pier only serves an ever smaller percentage of the available stands then presumably there are greater priorities for any available funds insofar as pax access issues are concerned.
However... should a future LH carrier stipulate manadatory airbridge as part of service, then I'm sure that funds will materialise
