Why London Has 6 Airports (And Still Can’t Handle the Traffic)

Описание: Why does London operate six commercial airports while much larger cities like Tokyo, Shanghai, and Beijing manage with just two?
In this documentary, we uncover the hidden history, wartime decisions, and planning failures that turned London into the most fragmented aviation hub in the world.

With over 177 million passengers moving through London’s airports in 2024, this system raises a big question: is it brilliant—or deeply inefficient?

You’ll discover:

Why World War II airbases shaped London’s airport network
How poor long-term planning forced the city to keep adding airports
Why Heathrow and Gatwick can’t expand like Paris or Chicago
Why building one mega-airport today is nearly impossible
What happens when London’s airports finally reach full capacity
This isn’t just about aviation — it’s about how history quietly controls modern infrastructure.

Have you ever flown through Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, or Luton?
Do you think London should build one massive airport — or keep its six-airport system?
