And if you draw another arc mirroring the shuttle to the north terminal
(you aren't getting confused by the satellite I hope) it'll end up
exactly where the new terminal is pictured, just south of the eastern
end of the existing runway.


No, it's nearly twice as far. A flipped arc would get you just beyond
the end of the runway, not the terminal.


But the corner of the terminal is only a taxi-way (or about three
plane-lengths) from the corner of the runway. Utterly trivial for a
shuttle train's transit time.
