Excellent shots! The wet weather always seems to make shots seem much more exciting!

Strengthening for A380’s, so I’ve been told. Not sure if thats true or not, but the works been going on for a while now.

Theres also other construction work – an expansion of the ramp. Theres a multi-phase expansion plan of terminal 2 over the next decade to increase capacity, including a proposed satellite terminal where the remote stands are now (between T2 and cargo sheds). Theres apparently already provision for a connecting tunnel under the ramp.
MAAS says it will help airlines using T2 to expand, but chances all the extra space the work creates will probably sold to new airlines.
Oh, and they’re building over the staff car park…. 🙁

Great quality shots!

Great contrast there when shooting in sun after a shower, the colours really come out 🙂

Great shots as always! Was wondering what the construction work was? From what I saw, they have closed a taxiway?
