Taxiway D
 
JETSET115

Please note that Taxiway Delta is closed at D5 - as per the NOTAM below:

Q) EGTT/QMXLC/IV/M/A/000/999/5321N00217W005
FROM: 09/07/03 05:00 TO: 09/10/29 16:00

E) DUE WIP TWY CHARLIE CLSD AT C2, TWY DELTA CLSD BTN D4 AND D5.
TWY QUEBEC CLSD. TWY LIMA UNLIT.
DIVERSION FM ABEAM STAND 100 TO A6, L1 AND D6 REMOVED FM SERVICE.
FOLLOW ME VEHICLE PROVIDED ALONG UNLIT SECTIONS OF TWY DURING HN AND
LVP.

As a result Taxiway Lima is one way out - and the only alternative is to route via Alpha onto Charlie and then round onto Bravo.

I believe, although I can not find reference to it, that there may be an aircraft size limitation for use of Taxiway Lima due to the blast fences that are protecting the work areas. If this is the case, then the SQ 777 might have had to be towed via Lima (to avoid delays to aircraft inbound to Terminal 2) in order to ensure wing-tip clearance when negotiating the chicane to the end of Pier B.

I hope this will help to clarify the situation a little.

There's a permanent entry in the UK AIP about taxiway Lima being prohibited to B777's. Maybe it's to do with blast from larger engines affecting nearby road traffic

Heaviest aircraft on 3 sets of wheels maybe?

ORY had a lot of work done to it's taxiways to accept the 77W which has been brought in to replace the 744s which had more wheels meaning more weight distribution.

you have almost got it , the jet blast from B777 and A340/600 not only effects the road system but also acft and people on stands 23 and 21 as you go around the corner hence the need to be towed.
Oh how I like doing GMC

Taxiway Work
 
I can see what your saying opnot but what's the differance between a 777 and a 747-400 surely the 400 would have more jetblast that a 777.I dont know which way the Emirates taxied out on Sauturday,but almost all aircraft went via lima

777 GE90 powered jet blast at breakaway power goes back 670 feet, the 744 jetblast at breakaway power goes back 590 feet. (according to boeing anyway)

OPNOT does that mean that the singapore 777 gets towed to abeam pier B everday if taxiway Delta is closed.

Another One Leaves
 
Olympic are to discontinue the Manchester to Athens route from the 1st October

Ian Brooks 17th Sep 2009 11:00

Not suprising, they are dropping all German routes as well including Frankfurt
so I suspect they are going back to basics and starting all over again

AA to JFK again
 
AA's confirmed that they will be starting JFK services next year.

MUFC_fan 17th Sep 2009 12:17

Great news, however, it may have an effect on DL's return. Saying that - they operated even when BA were on the route!

I assume 757 or can we hope for a 767?!:}

I guess this is only the start of an the ATI deal with BA that should surely go through!

AA JFK
 
Let's hope this time it sticks. AA have tried everything out of MAN over their 23 years here - double-daily ORD, daily MIA, DFW, BOS, and JFK at least once before. yet we are still back at what they started with in 1986 - a daily ORD 767!

StoneyBridge Radar 17th Sep 2009 14:12

Can't see it having any affect on Delta's return in May (they are off the route for less than 4 months anyway).

I'm reliably told AA should be daily JFK from summer '06, and ORD will be 12 x weekly, all 3 rotations with 757s.

SBR.

Curious Pax 17th Sep 2009 14:24

Hadn't heard that Delta's dropping of the JFK route was just a short break, but their web timetable looks to confirm it will restart with a 21st May departure from JFK, again with 757s.
