Fortunately it isn't impacting ability to despatch or land aircraft so that's something. That said there's a limit to how many pax they can allow into the IDL's at any given time but I can't imagine anyone involved ( GAL or the airlines) would send flights half loaded that would start impacting the IDL's capacity. Worse case scenario they could deplane a flight back into the gate lounge and shift a plane to a hard standing to make way for another but I imagine even that's a worse case scenario.
