Long Haul
Thanks MV
Seems a bit strange - increase the gate size (or at least get planning for it) and then state
with provision made for the addition of an airbridge for passengers boarding potential long-haul flights in future.
Maybe it means that a B787 can get off the runway with a full load, otherwise why increase the gate size?
The availability of scheduled longhaul from any airport south of BHX and west of LHR is almost non existent, BRS is the only airport that might make a go of it (with reasonable PAX volumes) & give millions the choice of avoiding LHR.
IF LHR closes & moves to Boris Island then LH from BRS becomes even more important as it would be a serious trek otherwise
