-------------------------------------------------------
i have read throught the 10 year plan and created a bullet-point document as seen above, from my point of view the plan looks promising, excitied by the proposed images of T3 pier, this will make T3 the same size as T2 if not bigger. Pier B looks very interesting, a very modern design to incorporate the A380!
Finally we have duel delta taxiway, this will ease conjestion early morning, plus good to see pier C being overhauled in the process.

What a FANTASTIC contribution to the thread from Veulo. How he must have have dwelt long and hard to compose such a marvellous and erudite comment. I'm sure that he'll soon be put forward for a Pulitzer prize.
If not I'd like to nominate him for being a prize
The point of his post being to prove that he MUST subscribe to Womans Own.
Oh dear I seem to have descended into my own Tit-for tat bashing.
Bovvered, am I - naah.

G-Staw, just wondering if there are any start dates for any of these.
As far as im aware the T1/T2 link will need to be inplace before any work can start on B-pier, maybe even C-pier.
Not sure what tht means, T3 A pier demolition ie 141/142/143 gone?
Or something to do with the taxi way Juliet.
What about the new Tower, or the 10 year plan only include the Termials?

In reality I doubt if any major projects are started until financial markets stabilize.
MAGs thrifty ways over the last few years have probably been for the best.As a Manchester tax payer, I am glad they (MAG) havent saddled themselves with new multi billion terminals. Instead money has been spent on essential operational areas ie taxiway repairs outside and retail and security improvements inside.
I heard that the new control tower has been put on hold .

These long term plans will be affected by more than just the money markets in my view. Considering the likely continued contraction in the charter market (still a significant proportion of MAN's traffic), the increasing reliance on lo-co's - and the inherent low fees associated with them, and MAG's apparent desire to spend a not insignificant sum on acquiring a piece of the action at LGW, I wonder how much room the company will have financially to invest in its existing assets in the short - medium term?
Giving credit where it's due, mind, the money spent on the new security search area in T1 has delivered a big improvement although the total lack of natural light from the check-in area through to beyond duty free must be quite depressing for the staff working there!

At first glance that looks a good plan. All of those works are needed and will make the airside environment and customer service better.
It's a tall and expensive order though, and some challenging timescales. I hope their project management skills are up to it, or will they be using MADL?

You seem to be the only poster on here to have
inside infomation on the 10 yr plan, so naturally
one would assume that contacting you would be
the best bet for further knowledge.
Im so very sorry if this course of action has caused
you any amount of trouble.
I respect your position - in that you only want to
reveal tit-bits in your own time.
As to it being 'childish' - I thought that it might
help - so please except that it was a genuine
effort on my part to be - of help.
