I mean its great that an eventual phase two that might be open in a decade might have 120 gates, but in reality at the moment it is a $20 billion investment in an airport that has no transportation links (yet) that has about 24% more gate capacity, and is a further distance for practically anyone that will ever use it whether traveler or worker. Seems to me that even when open for the first stage there will still be a huge amount of bus gates, and it would also seem that there is no suitable flight line for this yet built...............
