Re: 'Comprehensive Transformation' of terminal

Excellent, thanks for sharing Ian. Honestly, this man is music to my ears!

Didn’t get to see much of the main long haul terminal as inbound flight from AMS was delayed and they were already boarding when we landed - had to do a mad sprint between terminals, well under min connect time to make the flight, but the long...

Old short runway

Anyone know if: A) what remains of the old short on the north side is long enough to accept the light aircraft based at the airport? B) Capable of being put into use as a runway for light aircraft only when not being used to park biz jets? C) the section of short between the main runway and Gama is ...
