How will using 24L/6R for parking work with no parallel taxiway? There'd have to be a 'last in - first out' type system which is not evident in the schedules. Sureley only the first 800m or so could be used along with all the associated taxiways?
Preliminary schedules suggest that there will be 67 airliners and 37 corporate jets/light a/c on the ground at peak time between 18:00 and 23:00, with 95 of these scheduled to depart between 23:00 and 03:00. Anyone fancy doing overtime in the noise complaints department Thursday morning?

I really do hope everything runs smoothly at Manchester on the 28th, but using runway 24L/06R for aircraft parking intrigues me. Single runway ops just when two runways would be really needed to handle the increased traffic? I don't wish to sound negative, but should even a minor incident block the runway in use, (and 'sod's law' often picks the most inopportune moment), then delays/divs-out could be considerable. I trust that suitable contingency plans are in place, and that my concerns are unfounded.

Press release from the airport states that Runway 2 will now remain open, including the lunchtime period when it normally shuts. Taxiways will be used for parking instead, which should make an excellent overhead shot at about 1900 if anyone has a helicopter! Latest airliner schedule gives 272 movements from 26th-29th, including 118 arrivals from 0635-1745 on the 28th, plus 37 private jets arrivals!

Airport security plea to workers
byHelen Tither
MANCHESTER Airport is calling on its office workers to act as security staff for the European Champions League final.
An e-mail has been sent to all airport staff asking for help with loading X-ray machines and checking boarding cards during the coming busy weekend.
According to the airport's estimates, 400 extra aircraft and 33,000 fans are expected for the final at Old Trafford next Wednesday. Police are planning a huge increase in security to keep apart fans from fierce rivals Juventus and AC Milan.
But union officials say the airport is still short of security workers to carry out vital duties when the fans return home.
Plea for help
Transport and General Workers' Union rep Brian Bowan said the e-mail was a plea for help from the company because there aren't enough security guards to do the job.
He said guards had been offered treble time to work the shift but had refused because of pay cuts of about £10,000 last year and increases in hours.
"The company is saying it has got insufficient volunteers to man the check-ins for people returning from the final.
"It has offered security guards treble time but they have still got insufficient numbers.
"So they now appear to have asked people right across the airport to see if they would be prepared to come in.
Concerns
"We have had a meeting with the company to express our concerns about whether these people would receive training to do the job."
An airport spokesman said staff would not be acting as security officers and would not be wearing uniforms. She refused to say whether the number of security staff needed had been recruited but said people were still volunteering.
"Those jobs are usually done by security officers but on occasions like the champions league we do ask for volunteers to help with the processing. They will be trained to the same standards as security staff."

After years of being mistreated its nice for the boot to be on the other foot.
who's head will roll for this screwup I wonder.
Its a shame that the public dont see how the Labour run Airport treat its workers.
Lets hope the punters dont have bags. cos if they do there will be alot of rush - bags lying around.
