Sterile area at MAN
One of the basic principle of sterile area management is to separate outgoing and incoming passenger streams.
MAN T1 appears to have a problem.
Waiting for a bmi-operated LH flight at Gate 23 the other day when - after all other passengers had disembarked and trudged down the walkway to Immigration - a group of 3 WCHR pax plus various accompanying family members appeared from the airbridge, were deposited in the departure lounge and waited there for 5 minutes until the official airport WCHR drivers turned up to collect them and wheel them off to wherever. Arrivals probably.
I can understand the reason - the path from gate to Immigration dips and dives through the bowels of the airport up and down innumerable flights of stairs and thus an obstacle course for the mobility-challenged - but I didn't see any measures taken to prevent intermingling with outgoing i.e sterile pax.
I'm sure MAN airport has processes and procedures in place (doubtless "robust", as they invariably are these days...), but they must be invisible...
