With respect, the arrivals area at MCR is much bigger than BHX. Much much bigger if I recall.

Resolution of 'teething problems' won't solve the problem - they offload a 777 with two baggage handlers and have refused to sort it out for the last two years. During said 2.5 hour wait I did complain to Emirates (Gold Card Line) that nobody from the ground services lot were around to field questions and I asked a customs guy what was happening. he told me they only use two baggage handling staff and it was evident by the delay and 'burst' nature of luggage that it was te sme two guys at the aircraft as were actually putting stuff on the conveyor.

Even Emirates local guys ringing the ground handler couldnt get them to answer the phone.

It'll be a total shambles. And no 'working around' too few staff, insufficient space will make a quart fit in a pint pot !
