With Tulla being designed & built back in the 60's I'd say that their future prediction traffic (ground & Airborne) wise was nothing like we have now.
Gee they actually designed & built the place (International spacing/parking wise) to suit the then jet of the day 707/DC8. Even the hydrant system was outdated & unable to service B747's side by side the day they opened the joint to international at first.
It's any wonder we have had an incident here & am sure there are a LOT of close calls that we never hear about.
Like our Rd system here in Oz we have neither the foresight or the ability to think way ahead & build for 2moro rather for 2day only!!
Tulla Airport is outdated & a disgrace where the shopping precinct & car parking take priority, we must look like hick backwoods folk to the advanced countries out there!!.
