Heard a whisper that car parking is to be extended on the aircraft stands of the west apron, in particular the cargo stands, is there any truth in this ?
Yep it true going off images seen elsewhere.
It seems MAN is about to have the potential to be one of the busiest summers in a long time (given the number of new routes, upgrades and added frequencies, not to mention the most foreign charter ops Ive seen in a long time), with carriers adding more based aircraft and poised to add even more next summer, so, whats the most logical thing to do..... that's right take away more, and may I add, needed, parking stands.
Genius
Rather than scrounge for land off the whole reason you are an airport, why not build a multi-storey car park on the many acres of land you just got permission to build on? Oh no, that's too sensible.
While you are at it, taking aircraft stands from an airport for car parking, why not just remove all the jetties and call yourself Trafford Centre MK2
