A380 x 2 and new Control Tower

It has never been 'chaos' when two A380s have departed close together, It happened only a week or so ago, and at least once before that. One uses Gate 12 as normal, and the other is parked at Stand 62 or 80 with passengers bussed out from Gate 20.

New ATC Tower - site preparation starts October and main build in the New Year. Some architect's renders have recently been released showing an imposing if unspectacular 60m structure, which now sports a sub-cab level for Apron Control and Fire Watch.
