A thought! if the airport authority does not want to put aircraft on gated stands and therefore needs diversions on remote areas were the 2+ B777 stands actually available at the time of request if not where are they expected to put them?
You only have to stand on the Multi storey carpark to see that midweek in winter
there are an awful lot of aircraft on the remote stands and if Air Livery/Monarch/TCX are doing a change over for hangars, stands are used at a
rapid rate and need to be flexible ie: 2 Lufthansa A340 last week which did not
work to schedule
I hope that is clear
