@benji787 @Fahadnaimb Remember seeing the old BA 320’s at BFS in the late 90’s operating the Super Shuttle to LHR. If the Airbridge was already being used they would deploy their airstairs.

@Fahadnaimb BAs first A320s inherited from British Caledonian where delivered with airstairs.

Bet you've never spotted airstairs on an A320... unlike Ryanair's B737s where it's basically standard gear! ✈️ While Boeing offers built-in airstairs as a factory option on the 737 (Ryanair loves em for speedy boarding without jet bridges or mobile stairs), Airbus A320s rarely have them. The A320's higher ground clearance makes integrated stairs longer and heavier, so most operators stick with external ones. Only a few early commercial setups or special variants (like military/corporate) use 'em. cool rarity... shows how design choices shape ops, but 737 wins for efficiency here. Seen an A320 with airstairs ?

@LoisAlSull @BELFASTCITY_AIR Furthermore it will only work on certain aircraft

@AviationFanUK @BELFASTCITY_AIR Is it not suitable for other aircraft to use in what is clearly an emergency situation ?

Due to #StormAshley, travel disruption is expected across the UK & passengers should check the status of their flight with the airline before travelling to Belfast City Airport.

@LoisAlSull @BELFASTCITY_AIR The other British Airway aircraft that it unable to deboard its customers at present @BELFASTCITY_AIR would likely get priority before another airline.

@airlinerslive A350 for me!

A350 vs 787 - What's your favourite? 👇💬

@LoisAlSull @BELFASTCITY_AIR Having working in the industry for years. I believe the Airbridge at BHD is exclusively for British Airways.

@BELFASTCITY_AIR Why can our easyjet flight not have access to the air bridge and therefore exit safely ? Is it only for British Airways ?

@scottagnelson @8052ffe08c25461 @BELFASTCITY_AIR You will find there is a safe operating limit for different equipment that operate round aircraft. It will case waiting for the winds to drop below those limits. It will for everyone’s safety.

@8052ffe08c25461 @BELFASTCITY_AIR @BELFASTCITY_AIR For the best part of THREE hrs you’ve had a plane full of folk trying to get off and an airport full of folk trying to get on. It can’t be that hard to solve this problem.

@SimonCalder Yes. Happened to me about 14 years ago at the bewleys hotel at Manchester Airport.

Unexpected person in the hotel room area? My priciest room ever, I think: £271, at the Weinmeister in Berlin. So a surprise to be assigned a room already occupied by someone else. (I made my excuses and left, and asked to be moved.) Has it happened to you? independent.co.uk/travel/news-an…
