     Everyone wants different types of 
     airports
     The passenger wants the shortest, cheapest, most 
     comfortable journey from origin to destination, using local 
     facilities and a “seamless” travel mode.
     The aircraft operator wants the passenger to take the most 
     expensive travel alternative offered, and to exploit this desire 
     to travel through offering as many value-added services  as 
     possible. 
     The airport operator wants the passenger to spend money 
     at the airport on goods and services, to linger, but not too 
     long.
     The government wants the passenger to travel via remote 
     airports, far from urban areas , to minimise political dissent 
     and optimise tax and wealth generating activities.
     Local communities want the economic benefits of living next 
     to thriving airports but not the disruption they cause.

     Result?
     You will not be able to please everyone but, in general, the 
     type of airport that emerges is a political, rather than a 
     predict-and-provide, outcome.
     In Europe, the trend is for airline growth rates to exceed the 
     capacity of major airports  - if traffic doubles every 20 years it 
     is unlikely the continent’s major hubs will be able to double 
     their capacity over the same period given the environmental 
     restrictions on runway developments. As a result:
     • Other continents will replace Europe as global hubs between 
       east and west (already happening)
     • Demand for new services will be met increasingly by 
       regional facilities (already happening)
     • Increasing political mechanisms used to balance capacity 
       and demand (already happening)
