Parking ??

Midex operate (?) one B747 at the moment with more to come ......

I wonder where they are going to park all these aircraft. The A4's now occupy all of the available freight bays and the B747 is parked away on the remote apron.
When the Antonovs and Illyushins are in town (which is quite often) they have to park on remote taxiways.

The Mpost operation that was originally based in Al Ain (with 2 Airbusses) and was supposed to eventually have a large fleet (I believe the No. 50 was mentioned) moved elsewhere because the freight handling facilities in Al Ain could not handle 1 Airbus let alone a fleet. How is Midex coping with that - or do they not uplift out of Al Ain, only Beirut?
I see some new construction going on at the airport. Is that an upgrade of the freight facilities??
