Would a third runway and Terminal 6 not increase capacity too about 900,000? If 24 hours Ops happen?

3 x an average runway use of 40 ATM, = 120 per hour x by 24 = 2880 average movements per day. 1,051,200 a Year according to an average of 40 movements per hour.. Obviously this would not happen but that's life.Making it the busiest airport in the world. Look at Atlanta. 5 Runways over 900,000 movements annualy.

At the moment if it was 24 hours OPS they could handle 40 x 2 = 80 x 24 = 1920 flights a day. From the current 1250 rite? = 700,080 rite?
