Please give the solution with this question: Runway capacity

There is an airport with a two-runway system. The distance between the two runways is 3000`. It is predicted that there will be 310,000 flights operated at this airport in 2021 (i.e., predicted annual demand = 310,000), among which 60% are operated by Class C aircraft and 10% are by Class D aircraft.

Please (i) estimate the annual service volume of the airport (3%).

(ii) Judge whether the current annual service volume satisfies the predicted demand (1%).

(iii) If not, can you provide suggestions on how to expand the runway system for the airport (one or two suggestions are ok)? Please also give reasons for your suggestions (2%).[Hint: For (iii), please think whether the possible runway expansion plans fit the current runway system]

(iv) estimate the average delay per aircraft based on the ratio of annual demand to annual service volume (2%).
