Just collected my Grandparents this morning off of VS078 this morning - what a fiasco!
The flight arrived and there was no gate so parked on stand. Upon entering the terminal (obviously T2) they were confronted with EK's delayed flight, PHL, PRG etc. all passing through T2 arrivals at the same time. BGI, DXB and PHL is over 900 people at once!
yep, its been parking on stands 218/219 for the last few weeks actually.
Apparently the flight from DXB was diverted yesterday on route due to engine problems? Islamabad diversion? That is what was being said in the terminal but not sure what actually happened.
ahh, that explains why it was on stand 85, saw the crew in the downstairs lounge, look pritty pissed off, this explain why....
btw saw the man utd team jet off today, very nice A319 jet, owned by
Daimler Chrysler Aviation D-ADNA....
