As I understand the position and this was set out in the Planning Statement there will be at the end of the TP a net increase of 1 stand. This has been confirmed more or less by posts here and elsewhere.
That I find worrying because as we all know there is a lack of stands now at certain times and therefore in 1 never mind 10 years I would have thought or things being well you would need considerably more than 1.
Yes as Sheds says the way it has been done so far means things are underway and hopefully the airfield and the enlarged terminal will be better for all. However there is no guarantee there will be further improvements or more stands. I really think MAN need to find more stand space sooner rather than later otherwise expansion will stall.
