At first glance that’s obviously in excess of the passenger gap, but the numbers get a bit funky because of how the passenger cap has evolved.
DAA takes the position that transfer passengers don’t count. Not unreasonable since the passenger cap is supposed to be about road traffic around the airport. They have also argued that certain other users of the airport who don’t use terminals one and two should be excluded since the cap was about T1 and T2. Little harder to square that with the first argument but they’re a small group as I understand it. I think they bring the number down somewhere between 2 and 2.5 million. So still above.
Interestingly, DAA had previously taken the position that it could do about 36 million with minimal upgrades, and about 40 with the first batch of bits and pieces. So those may have been conservative estimates of their capacity?

Great to hear.
When will the airport’s routes to Asia (excluding the Middle East) start reflecting this size and growth instead of being almost completely nonexistent.

Its like this might effect the m50 and other roads connecting motors direct to airport would help 0.0 but people say more roads make more problems . More people are driving every year and will be more with ev automatic making it easier to drive . Needs to be accommodated. And also metro city centre to airport needed 20 yrs ago.
