Not a disaster. Pure skill and precision.

A disaster waiting to happen.
-
btw who do you fly with???
my uncle and grandfather were both pilots with Dan-Air (now bust) and British Airways
-
Well now that Qatar and China seem to be joining the race, Germany is enlarging its airports and UK is contemplating Gateway I belive that all this hype about DXB was reliastic maybe 3 years ago but more and more competitors are showing up now EK wont be able to become the worlds airline
-
@steven8hamilton I agree. As a FO who's been to ATL plenty of times, I can tell you there's nothing in ATL except Delta. Daxing will have 120-200 million. They don't really know if its going to be closer to the 120 or 200. The majority of that will be domestic traffic in China. As far as DXB goes, Its all intl traffic. It would be the biggest "INTL airport". I'm sure you read my comment on the Dubai Al Maktoum Video. DXB WILL take traffic away from other airports once EK gets their full orders.
-
anyway that isnt the point, is Delta decided to move their hub to Jacksonville then over night Jacksonville would be the worlds largest airport and Atlanta would be a little second tier airport
-
Nope wrong, biggest airport in the world will be Beijing Daxing which when completed will have 200 million passengers and 9 runways.
Anyway New London Airport with 6 runways and 150 million as well as extra space to be 8 runways and 180 million pax in 30 years is better than Heathrow with capacity for 90 million and only 2 runways.
-
@steven8hamilton Actually the biggest airport in the world is going to be Dubai's Al Maktoum International because it has a capacity of 160 million and they have already started building that airport. New London airport would be 150 million "IF" they decide to even build it which is easily 10 years away.

what is this programe called ?
-
I am pointing out that the proportions at the worlds major airports are dependent on different circumstances.
Heathrow is big because London is world a centre.
Atlanta is big only because Delta decided to put up stakes there.
When Gateway gets built and replaces Heathrow it will be the biggest airport in no time, it will be around twice the size as Heathrow in terms of space and runways
London is the busiest aviation hub in the world if you were to add the passenger traffic for all 5 airports. ,a sixth one is confirmed. One airport is the busiest in Europe, two are major airports. The other two, are smaller airports which deal with significant numbers. What other city has this many airports???
