At any rate I know for a fact that as part of expansions there's going to be signalling and ATC upgrades to accommodate more arrivals and departures, I'm not entirely sure what they would entail but I know that they are planned.

That may be true for simultaneous independent ILS approaches. I believe, staggered movements have shorter distance requirements.

Anyway, the third runway at ABIA would be placed between the current west runway and the terminal. This would allow for two planes to land and one to take-off simultaneously. The landing planes would do so on the current runways and the departing flight will do so on the "new" runway. Similar to DFW where flights land on the outside (furthest apart) parallel runways and take-offs occur on the closest in parallel runways.

CONRAC 50% complete; glass installation begins at East Infill

I'm very pleased with the speed of the East Terminal Infill project.

Very Nice. The sooner the Customs facility is completed, the better in terms of growth for British Airways and other potential new international carriers.

So I found this a few min ago while I was scrounging around deep in the net looking for any information that hints of international carriers possibly entering the Austin market. Although it states "less likely", the fact that we were mentioned at all was enough for me to decide to post the link.

Having read the article it looks probable that Dallas will likely see the route but it's not confirmed just yet.

Having some different flights to choose from would be great, too.

Anyone else see the two Speedbirds at ABIA this afternoon (about 4 p.m.)? Pretty cool. Be even cooler if they were both revenue flights. Not sure why the other one was at the port.

I think the question or observation might have been why there were two BA jets at the airport at the same time, which is a good question actually.

The 787 is known to go tech from time to time. So maybe one got stuck here awaiting repair.

Thanks for the clarification. Though it is possible one jet could have had a malfunction, but haven't heard of anything related on ABIA in the news today.
