Airports That Should be Razed to the Ground

Since you mentioned Charles-De-Gaule Airport as a canditate for razing and rebuilding, that is apparently exactly what they are doing right now. If you look at the current satelite image they basically bulldozed half of the northern part of it.

But are they going to make it weirder still?😄

what other quirky airports do people fly from? What is wrong with the place and why do you love it? think it Should be Razed to the Ground?

London-Luton (EGGW):

  1. Terrible layout causing traffic congestion landside
  2. Terrible layout causing traffic congestion airside
  3. Too small for the amount of traffic it sees (both in passenger terminal and on airfield for aircraft movements)
  4. Poor public transport connectivity
  5. Often gets covered in fog
  6. A bit of a walk between gate and aircraft steps (makes it a rubbish experience if standing out in winter and inclement weather)
  7. On the top of a hill with a steep drop-off at the end of RWY 25
  8. Doesn't have full-length taxiways, requiring airliners to back-track before take-off
  9. Is in Luton.


In the sim, however, some items on the above list make it quite interesting!

What you saw is that the just rebuilt the northernmost runway last summer (they redo them one after another). Also they are extending the highway "N104", which will go along the northenmost part of the airport.

The rest of the airport remains as is. The new Terminal 4 which was supposed to happen has been cancelled last year for the moment.
