Sorry Matey - totally incorrect. It is for
landside car parking and nothing at all to do with the Taxiway Works.
If you bothered to read
OAN 52 you would see that
1.0 A programme of just over 2 weeks work to convert a section of Taxiway Juliet (east of Link Mike) into a landside area to facilitate temporary car parking. The main aircraft entry point to Runway 23R will be Link Mike. Aircraft unable to vacate Runway 05L or depart Runway 23R via Link Mike (Runway Holding Point M1) will be required to backtrack the runway, as directed by ATC.
and
4.1 Once the required work has been completed, the car park will be in-situ and operational until Tuesday 31st October, after which, there will be a programme of work to remove the car park and restore the closed section of Taxiway Juliet to normal operations.
The plan quite clearly shows where it will be behind the concrete blast wall
OAN 58 is the one that applies to the Taxiway J works....
Presume this is a last minute measure to deal with car parking displaced by the TP along with increasing passenger demand....
Wonder what other rabbits will be pulled out of hats during the TP?
