If you use 24L for landing there is no taxyway to get landed aircraft back to the terminals, so they are held in the loop at the end, a maximum of three depending on size, and then taxied back. The taxy back is very time consuming and is in effect wasted time.
Using 06R for landings and 24L for departures will actually provide a higher movement rate than 24L for everything. It may seem cumbersome, but with skill and planning it works well.
Nice job B Watch, sorry I missed it...NOT!!!!
