There is more slots available, get the LCC and Chinese carriers that take 120 plus seconds to line up or 2500 meters to land (if they can stay on the runway or avoid the terrain). Or unable to maintain ATC speed restrictions out of hkia. The number of movements per hour can be increased a lot.
Then you can get rid of the business jets and government flying school.
Mumbai is now the busiest single runway airport in the world, it has overtaken Gatwick. Maybe it’s time to get the Indians to show HKG ATC how it should be done.
