I suspect however they didn't have a directorate like ours ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 The terminal building was designed to incorporate air bridges when the appropriate types of aeroplane e.g. A319/320, B737 became regular operators at Ronaldsway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could put one out from each corner of the terminal (2 total) and vastly improve passenger experience for not much spend really. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might be right, but we're talking about Isle of Man Government here...new access roads into the airport would probably need to be built to accommodate any new airbridges. It's the way we do things. The Isle of Man....Where You Can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought there are more pressing areas that need investment to be honest maybe an improved landing system to ensure flights can land in bad weather? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They rarely manage to turn the EZY flights around in the time allowed now using both the front and rear doors. Be even worse if they only used the front with an airbridge 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryanair opt to use in-built stairs on the 737's because airports traditionally charge more for use of airbridges. The main thing is that for 10mln euro's they're making substantial improvements at that airport, it's barely a toe dip really. For circa £15mln we can get the landing system sorted, improve the airport and we have a much improved facility to see us forward...?

Silly place. I think a relatively minor impact from this . More concerning is the delays that Loganair have racked up today it’s been another poor day from them .

More concerning is the delays that Loganair have racked up today it’s been another poor day from them . Read on Twitter someone manxie seems ground handling delays in Liverpool and Manchester. Friend was on Easy to Liverpool today and when they landed they had to sit o plane for nearly 30mins as no ground handlers too. Mess all round me thinks!

The terminal building was designed by an imbecile who created a narrow doorway through which all arrivals and the majority of departures to all try and pass through. And then added a cash point to further add to the congestion in the doorway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
