An airport with a difficult approach, varying wind conditions and weather phenomena, plus surrounded by tall buildings
Devil's advocate : those are for the pilots , the controller only ensures separation with other aircraft and vehicles on the RWY/maneuvering area.
And that can be done , and even enhanced (e.g. Infra Red cameras) with remote tower technology.
That said, the 400 Mvts a day bit is where the hurdle will be me thinks.
