Beluga Operation

The Airbus Beluga visits Ingolstadt frequently and has two designated parking positions on the Airbus Apron. The most frequently used position can be accessed via Gate 1, this position however can only be used for the Beluga XL!
The second position can be accessed via Gate 2 and is suitable for the Beluga ST and Beluga XL.
The Beluga is not allowed to start its engines in the vicinity of the Airbus Apron, it needs to pushback onto TWY S before starting it's engines - this procedure applies to both parking positions.
