You are absolutely correct in that the design of the runways and taxiways for 24R/06L only allow takeoffs on 24L and landings on 06R. The problem being that space doesn't allow parallel taxiways to the western end of the new runway.
The design is frankly a "buggers muddle" but then who is surprised by that? No doubt they will be back in a year or two with plans for a new runway to the north of Terminal 2, which they should have done in the first place.
I have heard on the grapevine that there are problems with the switch over time for the backup lighting power supply on 24R, anyone know anything?
