With the closure of one runway, the capacity of the airport will decrease by 20 per cent. Runways 27 and 29, which will be operational after runway 28 is closed, are not parallel runways and no two aircraft can land or take off at the same time. This may lead to a major congestion.

The mobile lounges will remain in use for international flights for the time being. The AeroTrain starts above the baggage claim area and runs along almost 4 miles of track.

The three-car train can get up to 42 mph, arrives every two minutes during peak travel times with room for about 50 passengers.
