Best Answer

Miami International Airport, Wilcox Field, has four runways, 8L/26R, 8R/26L, 9/27, and 12/30, so theoretically, you could have four aircraft landing or departing at any one time. However, if any of the runways cross, then they have to be sequentially controlled, so that would place a smaller limit. In the worst case, 8L/26R vs 8R/26L, I would say two at a time.

Looking at the satellite views, I see that 12/30 intersects with 8L/26R, so that counts one out. I also see that 9/27 is very, very close to 8R/26L so, depending on FAA regulations for separation, the answer is either two or three, though it might be possible to allow one landing and one takeoff at the same time from those two runway, though limitations on wing-tip vortex separation might limit that to two.
