You must not have been there at the morning rush then, last time I went it was mobbed.
An airport handling 9.5m people can hardly be described as quiet, 9 aircraft on the ground is not exactly dead either, probably over 2000 people arriving/ departing from just those aircraft.
GLA must be at gate capacity for the morning rush as they are building more stands to cope.
