Quite possible that many planes can and will be moved from ABIA to the Executive Airport. The airport has plenty of space for more hangars, a larger ramp, and more fixed base operators. (the current fbo at the airport is one of the highest rated in the country)
The only problem that could occur is the current runways width being to narrow to accept the largest private jets. The runway will probably have to be widened from 100ft to 150ft eventually. Not quite sure on the taxiway width.
Even at the current 6,025ft, runway 13/31 has plenty of room to land many if not all common private planes. Adding length just gives more room for error, and accompanying the random billionaire with a 757.
