  1. Since most – if not all – mainland bound flights leave from the reef runway, will those flights really be affected very much?

    1. “Leaving” is only 1/2 the equation. So they shouldn’t be affected too much – unless some of the landing traffic is assigned 8R (Reef Runway).

      There’s not much daily landing traffic from 1700-0700 that can’t use 4R to land; although in a “HEAVY” – even a “light” one that’s just crossed the Pacific – you’re sometimes standing on your head w/ breaking and reverse thrust to safely get stopped.
