And while I'm on a roll can someone change the new terminal 3rd runway complex to the ones like Heathrow and some of the US airports with the "toaster design" terminals, they're not pretty to look at but make north south airport movements a breeze compared to the current round the houses design in HK.
You seriously think its about the aeroplanes
SMOC???
Its about retail man!
The aeroplanes are just a way of getting everyone into the same shopping mall. They're shopping centre managers.
Of course they don't want toast rack type layout. The new Terminal will be just like the current with a Y at the eastern end as well. So we can have blocked pushbacks at both ends in future.
