MKY661.
Yes, thanks for that. The number does vary slightly from day-to-day but 70-75 seems to be the range based on your figures.
A few of those a/c won't of course be on the ground overnight as they arrive back from long haul flying early morning - VS and some TCX and TOM.
On the other hand, there are some night-stoppers which off the top of my head are:
LH x 2
KLM
BA x 2
LR
Perhaps someone could confirm the number of parking stands (pier attached)
and remote stands excluding the car park. There are I think 12 remote stands not currently in use for a/c but which I believe are due to be returned for their intended purpose.
I make it about 60 pier stands and currently about 30 remote, not counting any stands that allow double parking for smaller a/c. The airfield certainly looks pretty full at 06.00 in the summer.
