I think they perhaps missed a chance with the runway extension.There was a lot of excavating required at the northwest end I reckon,and upgraded lights which could have been put in at the time.The holding points would have to have been pulled back,and whether that took in some taxiways then I don't know.
However it has been a problem for as long as I can remember,and I've been on that bus a few times as well.
It just seemed ironic that the operations side of the airport is the same old problems that ATC,Airlines etc have to sort out,when the BAA are branding the place as something that it just isn't.An International Airport.It's Dyce with a 70's terminal,and basic ILS equipment that isn't much better,because there hasn't been the will or money to do anything else.
You would think the ex boss of a bus company would be rejoicing instead of complaining.
