I understand 24L was tried for arrivals.However there is no ILS to 24L. There is also no parrallel taxyway. So after the landing roll, aircraft have to back track to exit, making arrival spacing even greater, even without any departures. Sure there is a loop at the end, but sooner or later aircraft have to backtrack. Using both ends is tricky, 24L deps & 06R arrivals, but would be more expeditious, well done to those who made it work.
I would be interested to know why it took almost 8 hours to move the 737, anyone know ?
