1. Why was that other aircraft on stand?
The EY was a half hour early. Perhaps whatever was occupying the stand wasnt yet due off... Off schedule works BOTH ways!
2. Perhaps there should be more than 2 stands capable of handling the A340-600?
Remind me again how often we get A340-600 service? The aircraft fits onto the same stand as the 777-300. We get a total of what? Three of them a day (scheduled)... Why build infrastructure where there clearly is not a need? The airport has 2 stands on T1 and all of T2 AND most of remote capable of accommodating that aircraft type. Perhaps EY should move to T2 or accept a remote stand... otherwise they wait!
