Both stands in regular use for night stoppers

Don't think H61 can take the 787-9s though

Well spotted that man. Can aircraft pass each other when being de-iced? Guess it depends how the pads are marked up.

But in the summer when no deicing is required and the airport is short of overnight parking, double taxiway width enables space to be used for.....😉

Please report all the facts......In August 2017 he arrived on a flight to Luton Airport to discover his custom-made, self-propelling wheelchair had been left behind.At the airport, staff offered to push him through the terminal on a high-backed wheelchair - an option he rejected as degrading.

He asked if he could instead be transported in a motorised buggy. However, Luton does not have one.

But someone, presumably with him, helpfully recorded all rather than pushing a proffered wheelchair It doesn't make Luton's offering right, but does make you wonder

This guy was making a political point!! So far as I can see from the recent BBC news report his motorised chair was lost in transit; LTN airport / the airline's handling agent offered assistance by providing a non motorised chair to get through the airport which he, for reasons I don't readily understand, he refused - probably to make said political point.

It isn't the airport's fault that his chair was mislaid, and I honestly don't know how he can seriously expect to win a legal case against the airport. I sincerely hope he loses. there is too much of the social media driven attention seeking nonsense today. Sh1t happens!

I have seen a TUI 787-9 at Ltn. If it was not carrying passengers or not in for maintenance; what was it in for?

Engine change....and they don't quite fit!

The guys issue was that the airport does not supply self propelled wheelchairs. By dragging himself across the floor I am surprised he didn't comment on the state of the broken and cracked floor tiles.

Think about able bodied people. Some are mild mannered, willing to accept whatever life throws at them apologising for having to make the slightest fuss. Others are billigerent so and sos, who will create merry Hell over a minor inconvenience.

Disabled people are exactly the same as the rest of us in this regard. Sure, this guy had reason to be seriously unhappy, but his actions say far more about his character than his disability.

I'm glad Luton's management have vigorously defended their staff.

I wonder on what grounds does he think he has a case against LTN and is suing them? They provide PRM assistance facilities which are at the very least in line with all current legislation, with fully trained staff and modern equipment. PRM handling exists to safely and comfortably get those who require it from point A to Point B in a timely manor. There is no provision for having all manor of customised wheelchairs available to suit the needs of every PRMs specific tastes. In this case we see the airport and PRM company providing the exacts service they are obliged to do and it is being refused, so I cannot possibly see how this man could win his case. If you require an airport wheelchair then you take what is there in cases like this. In this case the specialised chair was left behind. A disgrace of course, but certainly not the fault of LTN or the PRM company, so why he felt the need for this protest is quite a mystery. I am glad LTN are standing up to him.

I would like to know how he managed to get off the aircraft, by ambilift in a wheelchair with help from the care bears I would imagine. Then decided as his own wheelchair was not available he would slide across the terminal floor. What happened when he got to passport control! Also the incident occurred in August 2017 seems a long time to make a claim. I wonder if the airline was Monarch. Lots of unanswered questions.
