Grab an A380 and drag it out the way?

Are the brakes hydraulic
Drain the fluid and release the pressure?

It’s just one thing after another with Manchester. Clearly this isn’t the airport’s fault but the whole place is just a stshow. Whether it’s the inability to deal with the weather, the shambles that is security and baggage handling, the lounges that never have room, the filthy toilets, the filthy terminals or the Trans-Pennine train services that are so unreliable that they’re unusable…..

An awful place.

You would think after an hour of this they would open runway 2 for landings.........

I agree - all the work they've done over the last 20-or-so years has hardly helped anything from a passenger POV.

Having flown from the new Berlin Brandenburg airport I landed in Manchester this year, an absolute bump back to earth I'll tell you! laugh

If they lifted the plane onto a conveyor belt, would it be able to take off from there?

Only if they ran the belt forwards very fast.

The airport was the only positive attribute of Manchester,you can get the f*ck out of there quickly. These days you can’t even do that anymore !

Surely things like dealing with the weather, security, baggage handling and cleaning the terminals and the toilets are absolutely the airports' responsibility?

I’m assuming Crumpet meant the fault with the aircraft.
