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.

The one you were talking about is probably Haneda, where land was reclaimed next to the city center. 2. The order you said was Kansai, Narita (Actually Haneda), Chubu, Nagasaki, but the images are actually Haneda, Kansai, Chubu, and presumably Nagasaki (Idk how Nagasaki Airport looks like, never been there)

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.

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.

The real problem is the fact that Heathrow is now owned and managed by a different commercial organisation from the other airports. When they were all under the same authority a plan could be developed which would be best for the country. Now there is immense pressure to have a plan which benefits merely the owners of Heathrow.

6:07 This is why there are so many issues today with modern infrastructure. The average citizen doesn't want o plan ahead for future generations, or even as little ahead as for their own children.

This is EXACTLY how documentaries (docomicaries?) should be done! Fantastic!

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.

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.

Even the domestic airport for Knoxville (McGhee Tyson Airport), considered small, has 3 runways. So London Heathrow is smaller than a domestic airport just by Appalachia!

That runway was build in 1979, it’s only ever used when the main runway is closed.

5:13 Ok let's get it this straight ladies and gentlemen. 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.

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).
