FULL, FULL...too many pax for a smaller aircraft. I went out to ATL 3 weeks ago and the same loads there.. And as I've mentioned on that thread, have you ascertained that all the people in business class have paid business class fares? And seeing that you want 777s on the route, perhaps you might refrain posting your stupid FAQ about widebodied stands. How many people have stopped you on the street and said "Joe, please can you tell me what's the situation when we get a big aircraft at the airport?".

Also I'm sure some GLA operators would just love a full length taxyway at the r/w 23 end, and ATC I'm sure would really appreciate a brand spanking new multi million £ ATC Tower, B And an open style common area departure lounge.... Oops they're getting that with the £30m development just starting. That should improve flexible use of gates, cut out bottlenecks, increase floor space and improve the passenger experience - making it similar to EDI.... So GLA's playing 'catch up' with EDI in some aspects it seems, well, would you ever.. Yes. GLA is quite unusual in that most of the facilities have always been landside. The changes will bring it into line with most other airports including EDI. Seems that arch was a complete waste of money by the looks of things? Quote: BTW surveyers were measuring up the playing fields and "the mound" area the other day with a view to the fuel farm being moved there to make way for the railway. I would think that's a bad move, just as I thought where they positioned the new Loganair hangar was a bad move, it's too near where westward airside expansion should take place, if they were adjacent the off ramp from the St James' Roundabout fine but down at what you call the 'mound' I fear is way too near where future expansion should take place, Sorry, I didn't go into enough detail. The fuel farm will be where the playing fields are but the mound area, evidently due to be cleared sometime, will eventually become apron. That could be a while in the offing as Loganair would have to move first but it certainly seems that Apron N will cover that area before the pier is extended. Ah, now I see, btw, have you ever noticed that small taxyway 'stump' that leads to where the mound is off of the main taxyway, it's as if they've always planned for an apron there, B Back to top Jim Mason Guest Posted: Tue May 22, 2007 2:29 am    Post subject: Re: ATL-EDI post on a.net In article <a8l4i.33630$Ug.26275 (AT) fe1 (DOT) news.blueyonder.co.uk>, callumjohnstone (AT) blueyonder (DOT) co.uk says...

Seems that arch was a complete waste of money by the looks of things? The covered walkway between the terminal and the T2 check-in facility? If so it's not long since been commissioned and built and will be coming down shortly. It's quite cosmopolitan looking by there with the coffee shop seating al fresco in the summer. A nice touch IMO.

Can't say I had noticed until you pointed it out but since GLA is so topical these days, I did notice that the kindly management have had the top of the trees in the sight line chopped there so that spectators can get an unencumbered view. Jolly decent of them ;-) Clive Back to top B Guest Posted: Tue May 22, 2007 4:30 am    Post subject: Re: ATL-EDI post on a.net "Clive Braham" <clive (AT) braham5 (DOT) freeserve.co.uk> wrote in message news:5bej84F2sogasU1 (AT) mid (DOT) individual.net...
