Re mixed mode. I was under the impression (could be wrong) that the runways are to close together and that is why the new runway is to be so far away (min 1km).

Even with modern technology the proximity of the runways and the possibility of Go rounds on each runway a mid air collision is still not out of the question.

Thats my understanding.
