What is your suggestion?
The terminal stands should be updated to Class D.
How would it work in the game?
All the current Class C stands at LEJ can support D Class aircraft irl, so they should be upgraded to the class.
Why is this a good idea?
At LEJ, the stands used to regularly take the 757-300 throughout the 2000s and the 2010s from Condor, before the flights were replaced with the A321s, as well as occasionally taking 763s from Condor too. It also took MD-11s and 763s operating on behalf of the US military. It would enhance the realism of the airports pax ops, allowing the B753 of Condors to be utilised correctly as well as potentially opening the door for the type to be a local carrier being able to utilise the aircraft on routes to Spain and Greece as they used to do.I do believe they can take Class E up to a certain size but I don’t know whether that would be in the scope of the airport as a major cargo hub (As it opens the airport up to being a regular passenger airport with 777s, A350s and 787s buzzing in and out, whereas being D Class only limits it - Maybe the A332 can have a special pass for realism sake), I’m basing this off a couple of images of Class E aircraft operating from the terminal and jetways and the fact that LTU followed by Air Berlin, after the takeover, operated (Again, I believe) a weekly service to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic between 2006 and 2009. (If someone has a stand map I’d love to take a look and see if this assumption is correct)
