The new hold room has the capacity for about 3 737s worth of pax, compared to 1 for the current hold room. That's assuming planes that aren't 100% full.
Right now the hold room is seriously overcrowded whenever there's two Flair/WJ flights departing within an hour of each other. Which happens multiple times per week, half the YKF reviews on Google are complaining that the hold room isn't Covid-safe due to crowding. I don't know what they'd do if there was a flight delay, I think they'd have fire code issues.
Given all that, 3 planes worth of pax doesn't seem that crazy for an expansion. It'll let them do two flights at similar times, and handle a delayed flight. That's a pretty basic level of service.
