New Stands at Manchester T3?
I know this subject has been raised before, but no definative information was posted.
Work is currently progressing to provide remote stands at the 24R holding bay - floodlighting has been installed. I understand also that additional stands for Emb-145 size aircraft will also be provided in the region of the present stand 56.
Does anyone know when these stands will be introduced into service, and more importantly what would happen if the holding bay stands were occupied and then CAT3 conditions developed and single runway operations were required? Being in the area of J2 holding point I presume that they are outside the localiser sensitive area, but that would result in aircraft having to use the JS taxiway. Presumably this would then mean that J3 would become the Cat3 holding point with possible additional delays.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
