Re the Southside and Ops Guy's comments "and I would anticipate a big increase in biz jet movements. Possibly based aircraft!!"

DL says "Our aim is to transform the airport into one of the country's foremost bases for private aircraft owners."

So the NE business community and richer private individuals are going to invest in business jets are they?

Planet zog again.....

...and as for those arrival doors. They worked well for the exterior entrances as they stopped the old gales that used to blow through the terminal when they had an 'air lock' system (meant the ticket desks did not need paper weights to hold their coupons down) but were never going to work for the arrival halls. The guy at the time, Grant Riddick - Ops Director, thought they were the bees knees and was deaf to any 'anti' at the time, hence years of being a frustration for arriving passengers.

....and why is NCL just about the only airport I ever arrive at where there is still someone 'presenting' the passengers to HMI or Border Control or whatever they call themselves these days?

Rant over, time for first coffee of the day....
