Find a figure then, and explain why Wiki hasn't got it, and how they can 
beat an airport with four simultaneous runways and 2,700 movements a day 
(that's five planes landing or taking off every minute, averaged over 18

A figure would be useful, but several sources say Frankfurt has 
overtaken Heathrow.
