[quote]While the IAA may not be responsible for the day to day management of stand allocation do they have any objection to more than one aircraft parking on a designated stand. That's the critical question as I see it. [QUOTE]
Why should IAA get involved in parking of A/C?
The DAA own the airport.
For all the bluster, neither of you have said conclusively whether multiple GA/small aircraft can be parked on a single stand. Can this be done?
Not an ATC issue.
of course physically you can put something of the order of 10 C172 on a stand used by a A320/B737 but why would you do this?
Regarding Executive jets
Good question. Time to bite the bullet lads and answer the query.
There are five bizjets on the ground at the moment. If I had the dough I would get a sixth in just to see what would happen!
Simple
If no stand allocated then A/C lands and is told to follow the marshal.
If no marshal then A/C holds on Taxiway until stand becomes available.
Once Taxiway is full the next A/C lands on the Runway and the Airport is closed.
In the real world executive jets do not "just turn up". Arrangements and handling are made before arrival is scheduled.
If the Airport cannot accommodate the flight then it simply has to agree a convenient arrival time with the DAA when it can be accommodated.
only one widebody is allowed in at a time
Please tell me how many wide body A/C Cork can accommodate?
