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. | Apron label | Location in the diagram | | - | - | | APN1 | East of Pier B | | APN2 | Between piers B and C | | APN3 | Between piers C and D | | APN5 | South of Pier D and north of Pier E | | APN6 | Between piers E and F | | APN8 | South of Pier F and north of the western G-stand group | | APN9 | Immediately north of the G41–G52 terminal stands | | APN10 | South of the G41–G52 stands, extending towards the southern freight apron | ## 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.

Detailed parking tables also contain subpositions that are not individually labelled in the source chart. | Group | Labels shown | | - | - | | Pier B | B21, B22, B23, B24, B25, B25A, B26, B27, B28, B30 | | Pier C | C1, C3, C4, C6, C7, C8, C9, C10, C11, C12 | | Pier D | D1, D2, D4, D5, D6, D7, D8, D9, D10, D11, D12, D14, D16, D18, D20 | | North of Pier D | D13, D15, D15B, D17, D19 | | Pier E | E1, E2, E3, E4, E5, E6, E7, E8, E9, E10 | | Pier F and western stands | F11, F12, F12A, F13, F14, F15, F16, F17, F18, F19, F20, F21, F21A, F22, F22A, F22B, F23, F24, F24A, F24B, F25, F25A, F25B | | G stands at the terminal | G41, G42, G42A, G43, G44, G45, G46, G46A, G47, G48, G49, G50, G51, G52 | | Western G stands | G54, G54A, G56, G57, G57A, G57B, G57C, G57D, G57E, G57F, G57G, G58, G59, G60, G60A, G60B, G60C, G60D, G60E, G60F, G60G | | Southern freight apron | H1, H1A, H1B, H2, H2A, H3, H3A, H3B | 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.
