Airport Analysis – The UK Quandary
In December the UK Airports Commission is due to publish initial findings on airport capacity. Airports of the World casts an eye over some of the proposals.

South American Beauty
The primary gateway to Uruguay, Montevideo Airport, has a new terminal. Sebastian Schmitz discovers it has proved a hit with passengers and is vital for the facility’s future.

World Routes Does Las Vegas
This year’s World Route Development Forum, was held in Las Vegas, USA. Editor Mark Nicholls headed for Nevada to sample commercial aviation’s most prestigious event.

Splendid Isolation
The city of Boise is the capital of the sparsely populated US state of Idaho, and famed for its amazing scenery, business opportunities and outdoor activities. Its airport provides vital connections, as Paul B Anderson discovered.

Florence Conundrum
Florence, capital of Italy’s Tuscany region of Italy, is served by Peretola Airport. It could easily take more traffic, but as Marco Finelli reports, this will only happen if a longer runway is built to attract more flights.

The return of a Pioneer
Antwerp’s Deurne Airport was revolutionary when it opened 90 years ago. Recently, it has struggled to maintain traffic levels, but as Luigi Vallero reveals, its prospects are now brighter.

Opening up Cuba
The Caribbean island of Cuba is slowly modifying its communist regime and welcoming more tourists. Paul Howard passes through Havana’s José Marti International Airport before exploring the city.

Pacific Paradise
Marco Finelli makes the long trip from Europe to the south-west Pacific to visit the Samoan island of Upolu and its main aerial gateway – Faleolo International Airport.
