But a bit later than that as it is past the thinking stage and is at
the have decided to apply stage.

Two steps, one is a limited existing terminal expansion for 2007, the
second - seperate step and seperate planning application - will be for
a major new south terminal and south runway about 900 m south of the
existing facility and to operate in parallel with it and open for 2012.
Seems a tight timescale to me as there will be lots of objections to
it.

Presumably it is the latter scheme is / may have some other kind of
transit link to LAP.

It will need something as they are planning to jump from the present
54,000 movements p.a. to 234,000.
