I have heard that once the runway is extended, there will be multiple international routes added & restored.

Which runway is the main one? The east or west?
Also (and this is total blue-sky thinking) what would it take to shift the western runway further to the north? The ability to connect the hotels/development west of the airport to the terminal would be improved without the runway extending so far to the south.
