Just seems like the whole plan for BHX is very fundamentally flawed, I mean, building a new pier with A380 gates, but not widening the taxiways to get it from the runway to terminal efficiently, !
Compare the capital investment required versus the likely return on said investment. Quantify the number of likely daily A380 movements. Unless BHX are swimming in spare money, that's a harsh criticism. Be fair, the A380 "facilities" at MAN involve a tag on to a pier that needs knocking down. To be clear, I'm not criticising them, just saying that with the time and money available, that was the outcome.
