Long Haul / Airbridges ??
The design of the new facility takes into account the latest generation of twin-engine, wide-body jets, such as the Boeing 787 and Airbus A350, with provision made for the addition of an airbridge for passengers boarding potential long-haul flights in future.
I thought that the runway length issue was (as good as) unsolvable and that the master plan envisaged (all those years ago) that the 787/350 would have lesser runway gobbling characteristic so limited long haul would be solved by better aircraft runway performance
Haven't got a clue what the runway performance of the A350 is but thought the B787 missed its target by quite a bit?
So longhaul from Brissel, what with ? A narrow body A321neo / B757? But a widebody, could a B787 or a A350 actually make anywhere meaningful from BRS off the current runway?
Not against air bridges far from it, just seemed a bit of a weird explanation.
Also isn't there a problem with wings tips for WB overhanging some lane west of the terminal?
