Not just possibly - definitely!!

And was that actually the case?
I can't imagine that they would use two jetbridges to board an A320, and assume that, rather, the gate used can also handle larger/widebody aircraft where mure than one jetbridge would be used.

Well, let's not forget that both Thai and Turkish airlines, who were due to move into T2 last week, decided only days before to remain in Terminal 3 for the rest of the summer, as a result of the baggage chaos that afflicted Heathrow 10 days ago.

That may change in October, when BA moves its Dublin flights from T1 to T5!
