Movement Capacity LHR
Could any of the LHR ATCOs please advise me of the number of movements (if possible divided in DEPs and ARRs) which are used for regulation purposes at LHR airport.
I'm flying for Lufthansa and passing through LHR at least 2-3 times a month and I'm always amazed how easy the traffic is flowing given all the local restriction and the incredible amount of traffic.
Now we're in a discussion with ATC at my home Airport MUC which also has two independent, paralles RWYs which are alwasy used BOTH for DEPs and ARRs (mixed mode) which in my view gives less overall capacity than LHRs segregated mode.
Any comments appreciated.
Cheers, MAX
