List of airports with triple takeoff/landing capability

Triple Parallel Takeoff/Landing Capabilities are a necessity for many large airports as it allows many aircraft to arrive and depart in a short amount of time. To conduct parallel approaches in the United States, the Federal Aviation Administration dictates that airports must have at least 3,000 feet (910 m) between runways.^[1] The FAA can grant special permission to conduct parallel approaches with less separation if deemed necessary. Outside of the United States, each country sets its own standards for aircraft separation.
