Finding the terminal and apron areas

The terminal complex lies east of taxiway A. Pier B is at the north-east, Pier C immediately west of it, and international Pier D farther west. Pier E projects west from the central terminal; Pier F projects west farther south. The G stands and southern freight apron occupy the southern part of the chart. The chart labels Terminal 1 along the southern connection between piers B and C, Terminal 2 in the central connection, Terminal 3 along the western side of the central building, and Terminal 4 beside and south of Pier F.

Taxiway connections shown

A runs north–south along the western side of the apron complex. E runs across the north. T runs across the northern apron boundary, north of piers B, C and D. S runs along the western apron edge inside A and continues south past the remote G stands. P, Q and R are the northern connections between the E and T areas. U crosses the western side between piers D and E. G lies farther south between piers E and F. Y is the western connection near the remote G stands, and J is the southern connection near the freight apron. V is depicted west of A beside the runway area. These are the connections visible in the layout, not a taxi clearance. Apply the Boeing 747-8, A380 and low-visibility restrictions where relevant.

Stand labels on the layout

The layout labels below locate each group. Detailed parking tables also contain subpositions that are not individually labelled in the source chart. On Pier B, B27, B25A, B25, B23 and B21 are on the east face; B30, B28, B26, B24 and B22 are on the west face. On Pier C, C11, C9, C7, C3 and C1 are on the east face; C12, C10, C8, C6 and C4 are on the west face. The northern D13–D19 group sits beside T. D20, D18, D16, D14 and D12 wrap around Pier D’s west and south-west side; D10, D11, D9, D7 and D5 line the northern/inner face; D8, D6 and D4 lie on its southern face, with D1 and D2 nearer the main terminal. The odd-numbered E stands are on the north side of Pier E and the even-numbered stands on its south side. F11–F25 occupy the north side of Pier F and its western extension; F12–F24 and their labelled subpositions occupy the south side. G41, G43, G45, G47 and G49 are north of the southern terminal pier; G42, G44, G46 and G48 and the A subpositions lie south of it. G50–G52 lie at the western end. For coordinates, elevations, aircraft capacity and servicing details, see the southern parking positions. The northern parking positions cover piers B, C, D and E, plus F11–F16.
