​​​​​You can't rely on T3 because it already at bursting point at times and it's not suitable for intercontinental growth.

So what happens then ?

How is Terminal capacity calculated? If it's 35m for T2, does it allow for peaks and quieter periods, or assume a steady flow throughout the day which we know doesn't happen?[/QUOTE]
