Forgive the stupid question, or not, but how exactly is this going to help arrival and departures. The way I read it we will still be all be going through Ranbi into Bahrain, and the change to the STARS wont increase the amount of aircraft landing? The landing flow rate will be the same. Unless we get parallel approaches, or reduced seperation on final, which with more 380's wont be easy to achieve.
What am I missing ? Am I having a thick moment? or will extra track miles on the arrival help?
