Folks,
I would love to know why the "capacity" is quoted as 200,000 per. year??
How about differential pricing to iron out the peaks, and a few strategically place high speed exits to up the traffic rate exiting after landing.
Compared to many European or US airports, runway utilization is generally low in AU, and with limits in a place like Sydney of 80 per hour, with three runways, there is no incentive to get smarter.
For a runway used for arrivals and departures, 35 per hour shouldn't be too much of a stretch, higher is possible, but it requires a level of cooperation and flexibility between pilots and ATC that is a stranger to Australia, and Australian "rules".
Tootle pip!!
