I'm currently at Nagoya in gw3. In a few years the new airport will open. I understood that I will just be moved to the new airport but how does this affect the schedules, given that the new airport will not be in the same spot. I assume that some routes will be longer than before? What if on a schedule all my routes are longer and there is no room in the schedule?
Schedules are not changed. Generally the new airports are so close that it goes into the 5 min roundings and there is no actual difference. In some rare cases you may see a 5 min change when you edit the route later on...

Thanks for the reply Sami. So in these rare cases, if it takes 5 extra minutes it is safe to assume that this will be at the cost of a sorter turnover. What if this conflicts with a scheduled A check? Do I get notified?

When you edit a route that ends up changing by 5+ minutes, it will be dropped from the plane's schedule and you'll need to reassign it. If it creates a conflict with the A check, you won't be able to reassign the route to the plane.

Yes, I encountered exactly the same scenario.
