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.

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).

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.
@aresef4 жыл бұрын
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.

Yep it’s a common mistake. As a matter of fact, When Osaka was looking for a location for their new airport that is Kansai, it was going to be on standard earth soil but after the cancel Narita airport protests, they decided to put it offshore like Haneda. 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.

I live in Hounslow and people hardly notice the planes flying low overhead, many of us are used to it. In fact i'm proud that I live close to Heathrow Airport, It's something to admire seeing a plane flying low and provides employment in the area.

Im from Stanwell a village south of the airport and I agree with that we dont really notice the planes, the only irritable this is the early morning whistle of the engines starting up it just causes a hum in the morning and I notice that every time

Japan started building new airports on reclaimed lands after the construction of Narita Airport, since the Japanese government decided to build the airport in Narita without the involvement or consent of most residents. This caused the "Sanrizuka Struggle ", which involves a series of demonstrations and physical clashes. Also, the first two aerial airport photos shown at 5:15 should be Haneda and Kansai respectively.

Who came first, Heathrow Airport or the people who live nearby? If the latter, then they simply cannot complain about the noise, as there are SO many other places to live in the world. Also, the whole country depending on a single city is so stupid.
@theretard6667 жыл бұрын
That argument sounds sensible, but doesn't really hold up. Firstly, realistically, we aren't talking the world, we're talking the city, because that's where your friends family and job are likely to be. But more importantly, nicer areas cost more money to live in. People have to settle to live somewhere they can afford. Just because they knew it would be a problem doesn't mean they can't wish it wasn't.
