Ah, it says it right there in the article... "Test runs on the third runway using a computerized auto landing system have warmed up the tarmac. " That'd be a Category 3 approach (CAT III). I don't know how much it costs to get one running, but the ground equipment must be expensive, and the testing that goes into it must cost a pretty penny.
