Taxiing to and from stands:
No aircraft movement is allowed at closed portions of apron taxiway, aircraft stand taxi lane, parking bays and taxiways.
The routes to be used by aircraft when taxiing into, on and out of the apron will be specified by ATC. The issuance of a taxi route by ATC does not relieve the pilot-in-command of the responsibility to maintain separation with other aircraft in the movement area or to comply with ATC directions intended to regulate aircraft movement.
Pilots are advised to take note of the precautions on the presence of open excavation, workers, construction materials and construction equipment, particularly when taxiing adjacent to the apron and aircraft bays/stand while works within the cordoned/barricaded areas are in progress.
During Phase 2, new Bay 6 and Bay 7 shall operate for A20N/A21N, B38M/ B738/ B739/E290 aircraft. New Bay 8 shall operate for A20N/A21N, B38M/ B738/ B739.
