Does 140% increase in pax capacity for T2 mean that when it's complete it can handle 2.4 times the present capacity or 1.4 times?
Based upon current T2 capacity of approximately 8 million pax per annum, the new capability would be around 19.2 mppa by my calculations. However, in the longer term, the demarcations between the structures we currently recognise as T1, T2 and T3 will be removed. Under the new two terminal layout, a redefinition of where the two structures intersect will be required. Obviously, the stated capacity of the two terminals will be completely revised at that point.
will there be extra remote stands on space beyond where the new structure finishes?
Good question. I haven't seen the plans for this (or if I have I failed to absorb that particular detail in the time available!).
