Airports of the World  |  March-April 2013
In this issue of Airports of the World we feature Europe’s largest hub airport – Frankfurt – one that is making the most of its four runways and recently added pier to temp airlines away from other hubs. We also feature Taipei’s second airport, the downtown Songshan, which remains popular due to its proximity to the city centre. Continuing the city airport theme is Rio de Janeiro’s Santos Dumont, where it is possible to get incredibly close to and even cross the active runway. From Latin America we feature Medellín and its distinctive terminal while from Europe the Costa del Sol gateway at Malaga takes centre stage.
There is a behind the scenes look at London City Airport to discover what goes on during the dark of night to ensure the facility is ready for flights each morning. Amsterdam/Schiphol provides a blast from the past with an interesting spread of black and white photos from the late 1960s. African airports have received some particularly bad press over the years, but we are pleased to report on the success of Brazzaville’s airport, which has been transformed following considerable investment.
The latest news stories includes the sale of Stansted, the imminent opening of Hamad International Airport in Qatar, the inauguration of Dubai’s Concourse A – the first dedicated to the Airbus A380 – and the announcement of more delays to the opening of Berlin Brandenburg Airport.
