Looks great so far! With the space you have, you may be able to squeeze in an extra gate if you’d like. Might only be narrowbody only but that’s not uncommon to see around the world right next to widebody gates. Keep it up!
That looks neat! And that wood you got is great for a terminal. You just need to paint and add the windows and other details. This is the fun part

Yes, extra arking stand to add. Wingtip to wingtip you need a space of about 2 cm: the airplanes wingtips/winglets are relatively close to each other at parking stands, about 10/12 meters that are 2 to 4 cm in the different scales.
Then the wood panel: already grey so you could not have the necessity to paint it, but just realize the tarmac grid and then the parking lines and marks.

About the tarmac grid? 1 cm x 1 cm in 1:500 scale, 2 cm x 2 cm in 1:400 scale (1 x 2 cm in 1:400 scale if you want to realize rectangles).
Use a pencil or a black Stabilo pen with fine/medium tip.

Tarmac grid well done, red jetways lines nice, white parking stands are missing: you can not draw them but in this case you have to draw the vertical white lines delimiting the parking stands. It is important to delimit the maneuvering/service area of the GSEs within the aircraft area.

its looking really good! you can get weathering powders and oils to make stains on the concrete as well. I also recommend spraying a clear coat on top to keep your board nice overtime. that way you can also give it a quick wipe down with a wet rag if its dusty or dirty.
