At the moment the airport has 25 boarding gates for 21 walk on stands. Despite this they often share gates as gates do not match stand locations. The pond and the extra stand on the hangar line would still be served from the bused gates located in the original duty free shop in the old terminal.
Parts of the pond, which the airport calls the western apron, have been designated as shared commercial and FBO use so we will have to wait and see how that ends up but the drawings show 4 commercial stands with FBO parking filling in every other nook and cranny. In reality Signature might well use whole stands if they are not needed by the airport.
The south stands will be eventually served from the southern side of the new pier that is now under construction. I have no idea if the airport would consider bringing into service the south stands for regular departures without the new pier apart from one off flights. While the south stands would not suit low cost operators now they could be fine for those airlines with longer turnaround times.
