Exactly...finally jeremy brings some sense to the Calgary conspiracy believers. All the other airports listed seem to show projected passenger numbers. The Calgary data for some reason shows capacity numbers. Two very different things. It only makes sense to build infrastruture in excess of demand, you would think.

It does not take a math whiz to figure out that with 13M passengers with the current setup that a new runway that does not conflict with the current one(s) would effectively double capacity. Of course, you would likely need a few more gates as well. Note I said capacity, not necessarily passenger numbers.
