Not even close

I think at Gatwick this would be classed as: 'a completely unnecessary go-around'. But each operator and controller has their own limits, so you cannot overly criticise someone for going around.


The real point is why are so many airports so poorly designed that runway crossings have to happen so often? (and three crossings in one taxi is really overdoing it !). Why are we stuck with airports that simply evolved, and have the terminal in completely the wrong location?

Manch and LHR T4 spring to mind as awful terminals/airports that have not been planned. And you can bet that if they add another runway at Stansted, they will put it on the wrong side of the terminal (just like as BCN). Lions led by donkeys again.
