Flew from MAN to HAM on EZY departure off 23R as I see the 23R end of Runway 1 has had new tarmac and before this was done the 05L end was laid. Turned right after take off then right back over the airport, nice view of airport and see the runway is progressing well looks much better with new tarmac. When is completion due? I see all aircraft are coming off at high speed taxiway AE as BD & B are closed. When are these due to re-open? Taxiway A seems bumpy in places e.g. passing the AVP is this not included in the refurb of 23R/05L?
On another note - is T3 ever going to get e passport gates? When returning from MAN another EZY flight landed as well as a WW flight. Luckily I was near front of queue but I noticed how far it went down the corridor. Arrivals hall needs expanding too, it must be hectic in the morning with the AA passengers!
