The development of a brand-new airport of such mammoth dimensions even as the capacity of an older, nearby airport is enlarged is not without precedent. After World War II, for instance. New York s LaGuardia Airport was expanded and made ready for the Jet Age at the same time that Idlewild Airport (later John F. Kennedy International Airport) was built 11 mi (17 km) away, and both continue to operate nearly at full capacity. And yet, there are stark differences between the New York of the early postwar period and the Dubai of the early 21st century. New York, then, was the most populous metropolitan area in the world and its foremost financial center. Dubai was ranked 314th in metropolitan population in the United Nation s 2005 World Urbanization Prospects database. And while the emirate s sparkling new skyline attests to its new importance in financial and business services, Dubai is not yet... [Pg.867]

Meanwhile, just 72 mi (117 km) to the east, Dubai s fellow emirate, Abu Dhabi, is finishing a 6.8 bilhon expansion of its own international airport, partly to cater to the vast aspirations of another bold carrier, Etihad (Airline Business, 2008). And not far to the west, a similar conjunction of an ambitious polity and determined carrier has fostered a similarly massive investment in a new airport for Qatar. Kuwait, too, has invested bilhons in its airport. Collectively, these projects have made the Middle East one of the hotbeds of airport development in the first decade of this century (Eig. 50.1). [Pg.868]

Some contemporary projects are much more ambitious. In 1994, Kansai International Airport was the first general aviation commercial airport to be built completely on an artificial island, followed by Chubu Centrair International Airport in 2005 and the New Kitakyushu Airport and Kobe Airport in 2006. Also Dubai is home to some of the largest artificial island complexes in the world, including the three Palm Islands macroprojects. The World and the Dubai Waterfront macro-projects, the last of which will be the largest in geographical extent (Fig. 55.3). [Pg.970]
