Because they can't operate all the services from just one.
What was the logic in moving LAX / SFO / NRT / JNB from Terminal 4 all the way across to Terminal 1.
See above. More efficient use of the terminals also - I believe that the routes moved also have quite high numbers of transfer traffic, so arriving/departing from T1 makes sense.
And why on Earth use Terminal 3 for only TWO services in the whole day to MIA?
See above. Also the timing of the MIA schedules allow dedicated aircraft to the route (ie aircraft departs mid morning for MIA, arriving back early next day, then goes back to MIA etc), minimising the towing of aircraft.
Perhaps they really are overstaffed?
Not relevant.
