Going back to your post of 2nd December you said the other tender, which was for a new south east stand, was actually an apron as per your comment below but I have never found that notice you quoted. Can you provide a link as your conclusion was new stands on the drop off area while I was thinking what is now proposed.
The latest tender is for a design rather than a build and could be linked to a terminal 2 which might be years away although it would not stop the apron being built.
If you read the Contract Notice section 11.2.4 they do actually state Stands.
I believe this is the area designated between the East Apron and South Stands which will become available when MSCP2 is built. Just an apron as Lot 1 states a value of £700k for it.Lot 2 ( local works) doesn’t have a value inserted but states the whole project will be capped at £2.5 Million.So what will the local work be at circa £1.8 Million.
A Pier extension? how much did the new Pier cost I wonder!

LTNman , the above link is to the main site.
If you look at the view details of L18109 and then the “ view new Contract notice”.
That was the section where i got the information that you are relating to.
The new 8 Stand Apron looks likely to be a remote Apron to start off with and then will become linked to the new terminal if it gets the go ahead..
If they can get it finished in time for Euro 2020 it might come in handy!

Yes south east stand also reads south east stands, which could mean the drop off area. Might be a typo error but could suggest an apron but then why not say an apron if they mean an apron.

While there is much to be desired with the finsh of the terminal the transformation has been remarkable with the full integration of 3 seperate but linked buildings. It is easy to forget how it was back in 2015 as the whole of this outside area is now terminal. Sorry to say that the hot dog type kiosks suvived the expansion.

What the Chief Executive should have said at the end of the second video was that the builders had been hidden away for the day and would be back in the terminal the following day as the terminal isn't finished yet.

And there we were all thinking that Ryanair grabbed the last two stands that became free when the 2 builder compounds were dismantled. Wonder where the extra 2 spare stands are coming from?

It was only a few days ago that the front of the terminal got a bit of spit and polish for the grand opening ceremony. Today normal service has been resumed but a bonus for the smokers is that the LLA logo that appeared last week by the entrances makes a great shelf to leave bottles, tins and cups after puffing on a fag.
