    Because other Cities in Asia only built airport only after the rise of Civil Aviation. Their strategy is more airlines hub oriented where you concentrate as much traffic to one hub as possible where the flag carrier is located. If they wanted to build a new airport typically they abandoned the old one and repurpose the land for urban development.

    Beijing's new Daxing airport, which will eventually become the world's busiest, was built at a cost of £9 billion. To put that into perspective, building a third runway at Heathrow is projected to cost £14 billion (the cost projection was as of 2019 and work has not begun yet)

    • @Sacto1654

      But then, the government of China didn't have to deal with the *GIGANTIC* expense of land acquisition to build Beijing Daxing Airport, given how the Chinese government works. That was the same advantage Istanbul Airport (which opened in 2018) and Seoul Incheon (which opened in 2001) had, because they were built relatively well away from built-up areas.

    It would have been worth it to mention the airports are also due to very high demand - London until only recently usurped as the worlds most popular tourist destination, and 170 million air passengers pa (180m before pandemic). The runways are some of the most used at absolute capacity -Gatwick recently usurped as the world's busiest single runway by Delhi, and a famous insta-shot of several planes lining up to land on clear days.

    I wouldn't be surprised that London will assign Heathrow for long-distance international flights only and Gatwick for shorter distance international flights. Gatwick could get a major upgrade to the Gatwick Express train so it could handle the increased traffic for the shorter distance international flights.
    London is also very fortunate for the opening of the Channel Tunnel, which makes it possible for long-distance high-speed trains from continental Europe to service London itself. We could get a lot more high-speed rail service through the Channel Tunnel, though that may require some rebuilding of London St. Pancras Station to accommodate the increased international high-speed rail traffic.

    Interesting and thank you for answering a question I had about all the London airports. I had it in my head that the reason was that London was a hub of all traffic destined to North America. Originally, I am from the Los Angeles basin in California. What is LAX, the international funnel to traffic bound for the west coast but also Asia. The airport location was the US defense of the Pacific Theater during the war. But a lot of housing in Los Angeles had/was creeping closer to the coast, and what was coming into Long Beach harbor (very close to the new LAX) was commercial shipping that was booming after the war also.
    The Los Angeles basin sported an Air Force airport that was winding down after the Vietnam war, large enough to be about the same size area that LAX takes. It was in the center of Orange county, about 40 miles (64km) south of LAX. A perfect location. That is until Orange County leadership looked at what a mess LAX had made of everything, and that same mess looked like what the OC location of an international airport might turn into if plans went forward. Air traffic would be going over some of the most desirable, scenic and some of the most popular beaches in the world. Orange County put up the Mother of All NIMBY campaigns (Not In My Back Yard). We could argue that Money Talks, which whether we like it or not, in a capitalist society, it does. Fancy shops, multi-million dollar homes and restaurants that makes your eyes bleed when you see the price of a hamburger--it makes my socialist heart burst into flames to defend people that should be denuded of their millions, but, gosh, even rich people have rights.
    Ontario International--I believe the last piece of big government property available in the Los Angeles basin, though I think it is closer to Las Vegas, Nevada than LA, lol. If you have ever watch TV movies and TV shows from the 1960-1980s involving someone coming in/leaving an anonymous-looking third world country airport, Ontario would be the location it would be shot at. They have it blueprinted to allow for future expansion, to hopefully relieve problems before they happen. BrightLine is constructing a high-speed rail between Lost Wages and LA. All of this might relieve some of the horrendous traffic between LA and Las Vegas. Driving that little patch of road was one of the last things I did before I fled LA. 225 miles (361km) through unending bland suburbs, then through part of the Mojave desert to Sin City. That's 225 miles, 361 kilometers of stop and go driving. Children are born on interstate 15! For all I know the McDonald's, off the next exit~! might even have a baptismal font.
    Great show with a lot of information I have heard first, here! Thank you for your efforts!

    @mdhazeldine 3 วันที่ผ่านมา +6

    TLDR: Bad planning, kinda. The fact that London got into the game of aviation very early on, when it was the 3rd biggest city in the world, meant that there wasn't a lot of land around, even back then. Also, as mentioned, nobody knew how big flying would become or more importantly, how big planes and airports would become (people thought that air travel would be much more point-to-point than it ended up being). By the time the government realised the way things were going, the greenbelt had been established and there were many settlements around London that had been there for 1000s of years, with a lot of history to preserve. Also, while London itself is relatively flat, a lot of the land around London that isn't currently built on is quite undulating, and would require a lot of earthworks to flatten a big area out for building an airport. The only land that IS flat, is in the east (Thames estuary), and that is the worst location for accessing the rest of the country on land, because anyone who wants to travel on to other cities would have to travel around London to get there, or they'd have to build a massive tunnel under the Thames. Boris Johnson was campaigning to build a new airport over there at a location called Cliffe, but it was deemed unworkable for many reasons. Finally there's the aspect of climate change and how really we should be building more high speed rail for short to medium length journeys and making better use of things like the Channel Tunnel to get to Europe, rather than adding more flights.

    nah i would way prefer london with 6 airports than 1 large one, so I can pick which airport to fly from each time depending on whether its a short trip to Europe or long haul one. It also introduces tiered pricing between airports so I can get a cheaper ticket simply by flying from another airport. Not to mention different loung amenities, comfort levels and travelling durations.
