This is a serious question I would like the answer to:

What is it that Paris CDG has 19 of ? This is more than any other
airport in the world. Figures for some other airports are:
Munich, Zurich, Atlanta, and JFK 13,
Madrid and Seoul 12,
Toronto, Washington, Miami, Frankfurt, and Vienna have 9.
London Heathrow only has 5.
Plenty more examples if you need them.

Many thanks in advance.

LOL. I suppose I deserved that.
It is actually something a pilot would need to know, presumably before
the approach/landing or before take off. It doesn't appear to be the
number of documented approaches, or comms frequencies. Maybe the
number of SIDs ? I don't have the docs to checkout worldwide major
airports.
