Journalist Chris Griffith interviews Kevin Rudd about aircraft noise and its effect on Brisbane residents from a proposed parallel runway. (This interview was shot in 2006 when I was at The Courier-Mail.)
I'm not sure if you will like it when one day they build an airport next to you and you'll be showered with burned out fuel ashes everytime the plane passes above you, not mentioning the noise which is detrimental.
As for the business side of it, whether the airports are in or on the outside of the city is completely irrelevant as all related business can be simply relocated.
You reverse the saying: why people move in the airport?

You'd be putting profits in front of lives.

I feel for people and animals who are under the consequences of this, but building airports outside the city wouldn't make a good business.

Expanding is fine but why build airports in populated areas? It makes no sense. Build them outside cities. The are busses to get to them.
Look at the horrible enviromental disaster all around Sydney airport. Humans (and animals) shouldn't live in these conditions.
