Sorry if im talking absolute crap but it's quite nice to see the airport doing alright for itself finally.
No Channex258 you are quite right the improvements have made it a lot better for transiting through the airport especially the security area.The overnighting aircraft do have a problem now that they can only use 22 stands instead of 24.There is scope for increasing the number of stands probably 10 to start.I would like to see if it would be feasible to fill in the 32 dip. but at what cost? It should enable the 757s to land using the Cat3 ILS .Isn't it something to do with tending to float down the runway if they try to land using Cat3? I must agree with an earlier poster there are a lot of people in the departure lounges when the first wave goes out in the morning.It is not only on a Saturday but mid week as well.It was nice to get over the 3 million mark and hopefully by the end of 2014 approaching the 4 million mark.
