Minimum landing sequence spacing in Doha is 5nm. 5nm @ 2.5nm/min groundspeed on final equates to 2min. Therefore absolute maximum 30 landings per hour, Doha maybe achieve 25. Anything to simplify and smooth traffic management will increase the achieved landing rate. Holding and extended vectors occur when the required landing rate exceeds the available landing rate. Simple math Tintin.
