<br /><br />55 Million is the ultimate potential of the two runways according to MAG. Such calculations are always open to question as runways determine ATM and not the passenger volume directly. No one is suggesting that figure can be achieved wit just the MAN-TP development. A lot more will be needed after 2024 but TP will have shifted the centre of the airport to T2 allowing for the T1 / T3 site to be developed.<br /><br />On the staff car parking, T3 mid-stay is currently being double-decked with a quickly assembled steel structure and so will be able to take a good deal more soon.
