Fair enough. I don't operate to MAN but use it regularly as passenger - am I
right in thinking runway 2 has its own fire station? If so, presumably a
suitable level of cover was able to be maintained.
Yes I think that the 23L fire station is permanently manned outside A380 operating times now, as flight crews have the option to complete a visual approach to 23L if 23R is blocked, and only if more than 4km out at time of request (I think that's how I read it anyway)
