BNE Intl J lounge - pre security access only Apr - Sep

[Tooner]

I guess if you don't schedule maintenance, machinery has a habit of self-scheduling!

No mention of the route (landside) to the lounge.

What happened to the lift? Granted, it is small and slow, so maybe not enough capacity? Or perhaps the lift egress runs into the work zone...

I suppose if they didn't have another plan, there's not much that can be done. Not sure if retrofitting stairs would be any idea (like where will you put them), plus safety considerations, plus if the lift is out of action, you'll violate accessibility laws.

The thing is there ought to be stairs somewhere near by, it would be required for fire evacuation purposes. In MEL Domestic they used the stairs whilst the escalator was out of order, all airside.

these things are over before you know it. I'm sure we might get an extra scone or something to tide us over for the ten minutes of inconvenience

4 months to fix an escalator?

I know nothing about escalators but this seems a little excessive....

OffTopic:
The down escalators to the MEL QFd J/QP has been out for months now.
Blurb on here says it has been out for months since last year sometime.
And yes, I have used that back staircase, dingy as a carpark one.
