London Airport

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.

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.
