Maintenance apron now matches the flight apron

The dark pavement in front of the hangars is now the same concrete as the rest of the flight apron.

The pavement in front of the hangars was a dark bitumen patch that stood out against the pale concrete of the rest of the flight apron. It is now the same concrete colour, so the maintenance apron and the main apron read as one surface.

After: the same concrete as the main apron.

What changed

  • The maintenance apron in front of the hangars, round the bays and the fenced compound now uses the main apron's concrete colour
  • The yellow stripe that marked the old edge of the dark patch is gone
  • Hangars, the compound, floodlights and parked maintenance aircraft are unchanged

機庫前面嘅停機坪本來係一塊深色瀝青，同其他停機坪嘅淺色混凝土好唔夾。而家佢改成同一種混凝土顏色，維修停機坪同主停機坪睇落就好似一塊。

維修區機庫前面有一塊深灰色路面，旁邊係淺色嘅主停機坪。
之前：機庫前面有一塊深色路面。
維修區嘅淺色混凝土同主停機坪連成一片，冇接縫。
之後：同主停機坪一樣嘅混凝土。

改咗啲乜

  • 機庫前面、機庫門口同圍欄維修區周圍嘅維修停機坪，而家用主停機坪嘅混凝土顏色
  • 以前標住深色路面邊界嘅黃線已經拎走
  • 機庫、維修區、射燈同停喺度維修嘅飛機冇變
