The TP should significantly increase contact stands in the long run, particularly if all 4 piers are built.
Should mean as a minimum that all long haul and full service airlines have access to such a stand.
If the plan is to adapt T3 to be the low cost terminal, it remains to be seen what they do. My understanding is that LoCos prefer non contact stands in part because it allows blading from both ends of the aircraft. If T3 is eventually expanded to allow this it would be a decent outcome.
