Interesting! I know that separating pax streams has been under consideration for a long time, with the high costs of implementation presenting the biggest stumbling block. I think it is good news, but for transfer pax it will all depend on how they will directed back into the departures hall. If all arriving transfer pax are funneled into a central security checkpoint (à la LHR T5), which seems to be the idea, this could result in far greaterer distances to be covered, and thus longer tranfer times.

I'm also curious to know what Privium intend to do once the free no-Q automated border checkpoints are introduced for all pax. So far, all they have done is once again increase the annual fee, by a considerable amount (19%, off the top of my head).

I don't find the G satellite terminal idea all that appealing. It is a departure from AMS' all-under-one-roof concept, and busing pax is something that should be kept to an absolute minimum.
