Andrew,
I agree the scope for 30 is a bit high, but I was pointing out that up to 25 is entirely possible.
Why do you question is aircraft can be parked up in and around the hangars? Currently happens with various TCX aircraft on line maintence anyway, and the VIM airlines B767 has been there for nigh on a week or 2 now, will be no different to Jet2 doing the same?
Yes, growth is going to be spread across several bases, and I don't think anyone has said it will be solely concentrated on MAN exclusively, so, I'm not sure why you are taking such a defensive tone towards something that is very possible? As said, Jet2 currently have 17 based, and the airport currently has in the region of 110 based/overnighting aircraft. So why is it so preposterous to you that a potential 13 more aircraft could be based in the next few years?
As for the AVP stands, the money has been allocated to the project, I have no reason to doubt he figures I have seen.
