It's for the Virgin A332 (bay 17 ext)

well that has me buggered. I have spoken to a few safety officers and they have all said for the a330.

Heya Guys

As You May Know The New Aerobridges for 19-20 Are Well Underway They are built off station and are being placed once fully built i decided to share with you guys the plan for the Aerobridges For Discussion

I saw construction had started, interesting they are missing out BAY 18.

Also that would mess up the numbering inside the terminals, AFIAIK from my last flight the Island where the Dual Aerobridges for bay 19, are labeled inside gates 25-33 (not 100% sure on the actual numbers)

They Are Leaving Out 18 Due To The A330 Gouig On 17 It Will Wipe Out !8 Completely S They Cannot Have An Aerobridge

Taxiway A Extension is Complete and now in use, Delete H2 H1 and F

Taxiway V Extension from RWY 06 to A and then 21 and then C is partially completed

Taxiway A is now A for the full length, Delete A1 A2 and A3 segments

Taxiway D1 is now D only delete D1 and D2, D2 Segment to be removed
