Beyond the initial 20 gates, the 12 gate expansion will extend west not east. I believe there was an issue with the brand new deicing tank being in the way of any eastern expansion of the new satellite.
Additionally, placing a PAX trigger is all fine and dandy. However, any plan needs to have a clause in it for an airline who chooses to ramp up operations prior to hitting said PAX trigger (i.e., expand before hitting a number).
