Yes LEI also have one but this is not necessairy because there is only one main taxiway there and you can’t get lost on the taxiways :rolleyes:!

Follow me vans/cars are very common in Europe. They are just an alternative way of guiding an aircraft onto stand visually rather than by radio instruction. As a common courtesy to the driver we turn off our taxi lights so we don’t blind them in their rear view mirror!

Yes I think that for some reason there always seem to be lots in Spain, but they do appear else where around the world. When I was up the Stansted control tower last week, I saw an Excel 767 being escorted to it’s parking stand in this way.

It’s common around the world in a lot of places. Although the last time I saw one was also in Spain at Malaga.:D
