I don't see why MAPLC just doesn't get rid of the airplane side of the airport all together and run the place as one big friggin mall, because that's what it is! Nothing more than an extension to the Trafford Centre!

Airfield Control
do have windows and they face south west from the referbished 6th Floor of the Tower Block. The old Ops Tower was built when there was only one terminal and so they didn't have views of the the 50s (T3) and T2 was just a line of tails; unable to see which stand an aircraft was on (MARS stands).
Now they're part of an intergated Control Centre (like real airports have; LHR MAD MUC etc) and have enhansed CCTV coverage of all stands.
