It isn't just the passengers that will be affected, though that in itself is good reason enough to abandon the stupid idea.

Many of the aircraft operate in Domestic and out International. At present the aircraft stays where it is and there is no disruption to the operation.
Under the ridiculous proposals of FAAN if the aircraft arrives in Domestic to depart International then the passengers are either
1. to make their own way airside to landside, then surface transport on the congested roads between the two terminals.
2. an aiside road for company buses between the two terminals to allow airside transfer between the two points thereby reducing the exposure to the normal roads congestion and dodgy taxis

Of course nothing has been planned, let alone provided for option 2!!!!

So A/c utilisation will have to be re-planned and become less efficient as they split effectively into two fleets, one for Domestic operations and one for International.

The whole idea is a nonsense and against every legally agreed promise made to VK at its inception.

Have Arik also been told to move out of the International terminal?
