Skipness, Only 5 of the 12 as far as I know, and just for the winter.

I think it's 71-74 and 85 possibly.
217-219 and the 4 stands in the 240s/250s remain car park.

Whether we'll get them back if and when the proposed new car park is ready, who knows.

We seem to manage this last summer without 12 stands, but problems could arise if there are major delays to the first wave of departures due ATC, bad weather, strikes etc. and the arrivals rush starts. I gather there isn't a lot of margin, and it doesn't exactly give a signal for growth ambitions as nobody appears to know of any immediate plans for terminal expansion either. If EZY or RYR do want to grow steadily at MAN, some infrastructure development may be required.
