LTNman, back in the late 90's I had a very good chat with 'a future' airport Director. I remember the conversation very well. He stated that once the airport achieved 5 million passengers that would be enough and no further growth would happen. I disagreed with him. On that note and based on the fact the airport will acheive 16.5 million this year and therefore with the right investment the airport is more than capable of achieving 38 million passengers during its transition over the next couple of decades if not sooner! I am certain that the east of the airfield will have a satelite building with up to a minimum 18 stands and connected to the main terminal building via a escalator / people mover! Growth is there for the taking but only for those with funds to literally fund its development. This may transpire when a new leasholder takes the realm...
