"I think the problem last night was the lack of any clear information as to whether MAN could or could not accept diverts"Exactly. Clearly the handling agents are never going to get their act together, they are all far too busy cutting each others throats and wringing the last penny of cost savings out of their staff. This is where MAG management needs to "grow a pair", step in, show some leadership and start banging a few heads together to come up with a properly coordinated airport. Just how hard can it really be for the UK's third largest airport and supposed gateway to the North to have a parking bay, handling staff, and a refueller available at roughly the same time !! If the airport's weekly "newsletter" is anything to go by all they are really interested in is car parking. In which case, they may as well just turn over all the airport tarmac to car parking and start bussing the passengers to LPL, LBA and BHX. Just think of all the money they could save by not having to bother with servicing all those pesky airlines and aeroplanes !!
