Abstract

Urban sprawl renders many airports unable to expand. While many urban-surrounded airports were closed to commercial traffic, other in such condition remain open and busy, thus forming multiple airport systems with new, larger airports, located far from cities’ centers. This paper explores and analyses the historical trend of increasing distances of newer, larger airports from city centers as compared to the original ones. Despite widely spread distance ratios, evidence shows that new airports tend to be farther away from the center of the cities they serve when replacing original ones more often than when forming multiple airport systems.
