GETTING THE MOST FROM EXISTING AIRPORTS

The background to the development of existing airports to meet the demands for an traffic up to about 1990 is discussed, taking the problems of the London area as an example. It is shown that with good planning and vigorous action it should be possible to develop London's existing airports to cope with traffic demands for the foreseeable future. Due to the trend of using large aircraft, the primary requirement is for more and better passenger terminals at existing airports.
