Birmingham International Airport for example is capable of handling 12 million per annum, yet last year was one of it's best for years in terms of passenger numbers with 9.6 million pax. Therefore the current setup there is coping easily, so why would there be the need of a second runway and 30 million passenger terminal airport?
Why the need for a second runway?? Have you ever tried getting out of BHX during the peak? During the morning rush it can easily be 30mins from push back to airbourne. Stick in a second runway in for the smaller stuff and maybe we can hit the 15mins taxy time built into the slots
