Apparently Norwegian have put stand requests in for 4 based B737-800 and 2 B787-8 from March 2017.
I hope that MAG has contingency plans to provide an incremental apron extension with some urgency. Other carriers are believed to be interested in increasing based units too, and new services such as the Oman Air schedule must be accommodated also. The new stands being constructed to the NW of T2 are required for TP-generated overspill. There is a pressing need to provide more aircraft stands for underlying expansion of schedules in addition to these. The T3 capacity issue has already been raised on here. T1 is headed for a stand-availability crunch as well.
