The airports "high growth" projection by 2040 was stated in their strategic development study as 17.3 million passengers by 2040. In that same study, the airport stated they will need 37 gates to meet that need. This additional 5 ground load gates will give Terminal A 22 gates and the total airport 32 gates prior to the new terminal breaking ground. So just playing with these numbers, I'd say this will give the airport capacity to handle another 2 to 3 million passengers annually.
