Europe
has
always
been
the
first
to
explore
the
world
defining
new
routes,
new
lands
and
new
ways
to
defy
time
and
special
dimensions.
However,
by
the
turn
of
the
last
century,
the
whole
world
was
shaken
and
all
the
beliefs
in
terms
of
special
and temporal
dimensions
were
brought
down
to
tatters.
For
the
first
time
there
were
landmark
discoveries,
inventions
and
innovations
in
all
the
spheres
of
human
culture,
especially
in
science
and
technology.
The
very
concept
of
special
distance
was
disrupted
by
the
invention
of
the
aeroplane
that
took
people
from
one
corner
of
the
earth
to
the
other
that
too
in
no
time.
All
the
major
airports
of
London,
namely
London
Heathrow
Airport,
London
Gatwick
Airport,
London
Stansted
Airport
and
London
Luton
airport
are
the
sites
of
thousands
of
planes
where
millions
and
millions
of
people
throughout
the
world
cover
distances
across
the
world
in
no
time
whatsoever. London
Heathrow
airport
has
been
proven
to
be
the
busiest
airport
of
the
world.
All
these
airports
control
planes
from
all
around
the
world
and
all
the
airline
companies
operate
in
these
airports,
especially
at
the
London
Heathrow
airport.
There
is
multiple
numbers
of
terminals in
all
the
airports
which
in
terms
facilitate
the
passengers
to
get
it
easy
and
comfortable
to
get
into
the
airport
and
beyond.
These
terminals
are
equipped
with
all
the
technological
updated
ticket
systems
and
other
technicalities
to
fulfill
the
demands
of
the
passengers
and also
to
give
best
of
services
to
them.
London
heathrow
airport
London
Heathrow
Airport,
as
we
all
know,
is
the
world’s
largest
and
the
busiest
airport
of
Britain
as
well
in
the
whole
world.
Some
of
the
most
interesting
facts
and
figures
regarding
the
London
Heathrow
Airport
deserve
to
be
thrown
light
on.
Besides
being
the
world’s
busiest
airport,
Busiest
international
airport,
it
is
the
second
busiest
cargo
port
in
the
whole
world.
Moreover,
sixty
four
million
passengers
use
the
Airport
per
year
(according
to
a
recent
survey).
If
we
take
a
look
at
the
history
of
the
London
Heathrow
Airport
we see
that
this
airport
was
built
as
early
as
1946.
The
grand
airport
that
we
to
be
so
big
began
as
a
little
and
tidy
small
grass
airfield.
In
1944
orders
came
from
the
Ministry
of
Air
to
develop
the
same
particular
region
to
make it
a
major
base
for
transport
for
the
Royal
Air
Force.
One
should
look
at
the
interesting
and
connotative
attitude
of
the
whole
situation
in
this
sense:
Even
before
the
work
could
be
completed
the
war,
i.e.
World
War
came
to
an
end.
As
the war
ceased
the
British
government
never
felt
the
need
to
complete
the
project,
a
project
that
was
deeply
invested
with
money
and
a
vision
of
huge
expansion
in
the
field
of
civil
aviation.
At
that
point
of
time
there
was
a
big
need
for
an
airport in
the
city
of
London
airport
code.
A
kind
of
airport
was
acutely
needed
that
would
have
advanced
technology
and
modern
equipment.
Therefore
Heathrow
was
the
ideal
location
where
that
kind
of
a
British
dream
could
be
fulfilled.
Used
and
practiced
only
as
a
runaway for
the
military
plains
and
planes
for
the
air
force,
the
London
Heathrow
Airport,
when
it
was
being
build,
had
only
one
runaway,
the
Ministry
of
Air
took
over
the
whole
matter
and
took
the
responsibility
of
building
a
Heathrow
Airport.
This
busiest airport of London, the London Heathrow airport took up the challenges
in passengers facilities that were increased by the rise of the traffic.
Gradually, various terminals were needed to be build to cope up with the
ever increasing passenger demands and the number of passengers itself.
Now there are over four or five terminals in total.
Another
important
criterion
for
a
successful
airport
is
the
road
and
train
link.
This
is
a
very
important
factor
for
any
of
the
airports
that
they
have
adequate,
or
rather
good
road
communications
and
or
rail
links.
LONDON
CITY
AIRPORT
London
Airport
has
a
very
interesting
history
to
its
name.
Nevertheless,
London
City
Airport
has
an
origin
that
can
be
traced
back
to
the
rise
and
fall
of
London’s
Docklands.
The
birth
of
this
airport
does
not
date
back
long.
This
airport
of
London
was
the
outcome
of
the
management
and
regeneration
of
the
Docklands
area
in
the
early
80s.
All
the
initiatives
were
taken
by
London
Docklands
Development
Corporation
(LDDC),
which is
actually
a
government
agency.
It
was
as
late
as
September
in
the
year
1981
that
an
idea
of
a
Docklands
airport
floated
up
in
a
discussion
of
LDDC.
At
that
time
the
area
was
treated
as
a
backyard
of
London.
The
accessibility
of
the region
was
to
be
raised
and
therefore
the
London
City
Airport
came
to
existence.
LONDON
LUTON
AIRPORT
London
Luton
Airport
through
the
years
has
been
the
fastest
growing
airports
with
passengers
of
over
seven
and
half
million
been.
As
the
London
Heathrow
airport
has
been
and
becoming
too
overcrowded
with
people
from
all
over
the
world,
London
Luton
Airport
minimizes the
pressure
at
the
Heathrow
Airport.
TRANSPORTATION
FACILITIES
In
order
to
reach
the
airports
of
London
on
time,
transportation
and
traffic
system
has
to
play
a
key
and
convenient
part.
Not
only
trains
or
bus,
there
are
many
transportation
agencies
who
offer
car
hire
to
facilitate
the
passengers
in
avoiding
all
the hustle
and
bustle.
These
car
hire
companies
also
provide
additional
services
like
maintaining
a
proper,
accurate
and
updated
time
schedules
of
the
arrival
and
departure
of
all
the
planes.
Moreover,
these
cars
also
offer
services
from
one
major
airport
to
the
other.
