    My dad works in the aviation industry and it’s really incredible how well Heathrow operates even with just two runways, they’ve got all this fancy technology and staff dedicated to ordering planes perfectly so that they can reduce minimum times between landings. It’s quite incredible already, and there’s plans to change the system to operate as effectively a twin-single runway system to increase the capacity just a little bit extra.

      Thinking about it, this could genuinely work. Use above ground runways for landing and underground runways with ramps above ground at the end for lift off. There might be some safety implications being in a tunnel but if it's big and developed enough it could be a great idea.

      I quite agree. Of the many series Jay's done, this one's been particularly interesting. I do hope he comes back to this at some point. There's bound to be so many more stories of London expansion plans that never came to be. For instance, wasn't there a scheme back in the 19th Century to build a colossal central railway station in the middle of London where all incoming trains could meet in the same place rather than at 19 different termini scattered all over?

    Chicago Midway International Airport finds itself in a much similar predicament to London Heathrow. Despite having more runways than Heathrow does currently, they have the disadvantage of being noticeably short, leading to rougher landings and steeper takeoffs. However, these problems would largely become irrelevant by around the 1960s, when Chicago O’Hare became the city’s main airport, due to its larger size and capacity. Midway nowadays operates as the secondary airport of the city, mainly serving as a hub for Southwest Airlines.

    to clarify: Heathrow was at the time the busiest airport by international traffic (Dubai has since passed it), but it's not the busiest by total passengers. That'd be Hartsfield-Jackson in Atlanta, which pulls over 100 million passengers per year -- 20 million more than Heathrow. Heathrow is the busiest airport in Europe though.
    Hartsfield-Jackson is fuckin massive, btw. It has 5 runways, spills out of the original unincorperated area into 3 different cities, has been the busiest since 1998 and had the most planes take off since 2005 (except 2014 weirdly), and has the largest single airline hub (Delta accounts for 75% of its traffic).

    Narita isn’t built on reclaimed land and it has a really contentious relationship with the neighbors. The government didn’t consult residents prior to picking the site. Cold War politics, student activists, left wing political parties and local residents fought the airport hard. Protesters actually occupied and built a tower on land meant to be used for the runway. Protesters delayed the opening by busting into the control tower and destroying equipment. The whole thing was a mess and that actually *why* Japan started using land reclamation with KIX.

Numerous airports followed this design style, including Kobe, a small regional airport at the other end of the bay Kansai sits on and is not mentioned in this video.

      That may be slightly impressive. Less impressive is mixing up Osaka's Kansai airport with Tokyo's Narita - although, he actually meant Tokyo Haneda, which was the airport shows as Kansai. Narita is very much a landlocked airport. Tokyo Haneda was the airport shown as Kansai. Some small, but undercutting, factual mistakes there. Heathrow is also not the busiest airport in the world - that's very misleading. It is the, or one of the, busiest airports as measured by international arrivals and departures, and it is one of the busiest airports in the world.

      Probably meant £100 Billion, because regarding the Heathrow expansion plan: "The plan involves building a new 3,500m runway about two miles north of the two runways Heathrow already has at an estimated cost of £18.6bn".

    Remove the terminals, re-build them under ground, use the land in the middle (where the terminals are) for new runways. The only above-ground structures would be the actual docking ports for airplanes.

    1:52 - It gets especially obvious when comparing Heathrow to something like O'Hare, which has about the same number of emplanements per year, but has _seven_ runways, with an eighth under construction (including a set of five, soon to be six, east-west parallel runways).

    The first one is Haneda Airport and the second one is Kansai.
    Narita Airport is actually located inland and nobody actually realized that it's not in Tokyo (technically an hour half from Tokyo). Haneda on the other hand is actually located in Tokyo but no one actually realized that it's on an island because its actually very close to land.
