Do you know how this can happen?
Alright let's use KLAX as a comparison. Brisbane weather, but without the thunderstorms. 666,900 per year on 4 parallel runways. 166,700 per runway plays 226,000.
This isn't a di@k measuring exercise. I'm trying to give some perspective to those who seem offended when they receive delaying action at what they seem to consider airports with no traffic.
