Undoubtedly there will be a huge amount of bussing going on for a duration. No idea how this will be done. One of the walkways to SAT2/3 and the APV (Gates 90-93) would probably have to remain for a duration to allow for bussing.
Agreed. On the plus side, the removal of the transit will also finally put an end to passengers getting 'trapped' in satellite 2 due to mistakenly misreading gate information when their flight is boarding from SAT3 for example. I've seen this happen a few times, so it will definitely allow for more flexibility once the new skylink bridges open. However, undoubtably this is also going to result in longer walking times, especially to/from satellite 1. The walk to SAT 3 MAG states is 10 minutes minimum, so I expect this to be longer for SAT1. I wonder what MAG intend to do with the space currently occupied by the transit stations in SAT1 and 2?
