Getting back to reality, why haven't they built parellal runways at Melbourne yet?
Too hard for the owners, or does that cut into management bonuses, or just keep on milking the the golden goose? Which will come first the rail link or parallel runways?
The airport was opened 1970, what were the traffic numbers then compared to now?
Still got the same real estate to land them flying machines on.
Same applies to that cluster f&ck called Hobart- lets have an airspace review they say! Review it as many time as you like but until they put in parallel taxiways, nothing will improve- but management will spend big dollars to extend the runway for the single long range international flight!
