Holding point A1 is at the end of 23, so to get to the new hangar, you would get to it from there rather than from the terminal Main apron down past Draken?

Not sure the taxilanes bit is relevant here. The FAA define a taxilane as "Taxilane - The portion of the aircraft parking area used for access between taxi ways and aircraft parking positions. Taxilanes are located outside the movement area. Taxilanes provide access from taxiways (usually an apron taxiway) to airplane parking positions and other terminal areas"

Is the taxiway from A1 to Britannia corner wider then?

I've read the definition for a taxilane and don't really get it! It seems its outside of normal controlled moving (apron, taxiways) areas. So aircraft have right of way but doesn't require as much input from ATC.

I have carefully observed The Mayor's body language and I can definitely confirm that he is convinced that Málaga and Tenerife are coming
if they don't he'll look pretty stupid, will he be around to celebrate and pat himself on the back
And the budget for resurfacing and alterations will obviously come from the Mayor's magic money tree

I must remind Bill that the mayor and his special friend told us last year year that additional routes had been agreed and even told us when they were going to be announced but they weren't. Looking stupid last year did not reduce the output from either of them although I have to agree that it's probably true this time round but dont forget that the evil Labour mayor will cancel them so that he can build houses on the runway so its all academic.

Ah , yes, Grumpy, but I've invested in a new crystal ball, and I've seen the Mayor holding up a Tenerife sign, and in the background was a gentleman holding a houses for sale notice ,

If you want access to there for A320s etc is where the redesignation to a 'taxilane' comes in?
The last notable regular use was Air Europa with 737-400s. The restriction near the fire station can be seen on google earth. Hatched area on the Southern edge.

If Boeing had delivered what they were contracted to deliver, we wouldn't be having this conversation as enough aircraft would have been in the fleet. But you dismiss that notion.

But that does not ring true, Ryanair expanded in lots of places? If the loads were good enough it would have been done already

You were adequately disproven in this matter

I think Harold must be in line for an award for the most duff guff on Pprune in one day.

Was it MOL? Doubt whether anybody outside RYR really knows what's going on. The Ryanair website says they have a fleet of 600 a/c, so the fact that they can't squeeze in what would probably be a handful of extra flights a week just shows were MME sits in the pecking order.

Especially when at the same time that we were hoping for new routes, RYR introduced many new routes arround Europe. If the shortage of aircraft was remotely the reason for new routes not mareialising we can be confident the the mayor would be telling us this.
The lack of aircraft appears to be another invention to deflect from the embarrassment of reporting new routes that it appears were never going to happen so perhaps we should not even be exploring this in any serious manner.

No doubt Harold is right..Malaga and maybe Tenerife will be announced for 2025…

The lord has decreed it…so it will happen…at what cost? Who knows!

Although he has previously fibbed, lttle doubt this time that it's a given for 2025 if he is re-elected but what if he is given the boot? Is it a done deal (as we were previously told for 2024) and the mayor is being mischievous in implying that the airport will only get new routes if he is voted back or is it genuinly subject to him being mayor again so will or should an airline allow themselves to become involved in local politics.

Could it be a case that of a firm indication has been given as to when flights will start. Which is usually the case. Only a month to go till we find out the result for sure.

So for the Airport regarding the Mayoral election.

Conservatives Ben Houchen, has done lots and lots of posts about the airport.

Labour Chris McEwan, has done two posts about the airport. Says his Dad worked as Customs at airport and says supportive. Has visited and chatted with management.

Lib Dems Simon Thorley, one post about airport, but as an attack Houchen's actions. Doesn't give his verdict about the airport. But on a local political social media group said he would never have spent the money on the airport in the first place.

No idea what the Labour bloke actually stands for about anything tbh and I guess the Lib Dems want the airport returning to nature although dont actually know that. Problem is that as far as the general public are concerned, the flight numbers at the airport are pathetic with destinations of little interest to most so the reported pumping of yet more money into the "loss making" airport is probably a vote looser but not sure that Lord H has worked that out yet.

A bit of real news for once from the Northern Echo. The restriction of the Village end must have forced Willis to look again. With the mayoral election due, we are spared politics BS.

This isn't the Willis complex though, is it? It's the Airbourne Colours plus one hangar down near the railway they got government funding for.
