Great teaser and "why" behind the project - well written and I appreciate the explanations of how the rankings are determined - and how it all ties in so closely with the aviation industry. Love the cross-listing of other Substackers and their articles too (insert woot emoji). Excited to see the first batch of results!
You are projecting an interesting series about ranking airports. Three comments: 1) in the 70’s you would refuel in Anchorage Alaska on the way to Japan and the far east. Everyone disembarked to buy souvenirs (?). It was a critical link. 2) We flew through London Heathrow flying back to the states from Paris. It was days before Covid shut down the world. All the waiting areas are centralized, not at gates. We were exposed to millions of potential Covid carriers. Did they TRY to kill us? 3). In 1972 I flew to Athens stopping in the Azores to refuel, and to Barcelona on the way home. The value of refueling stops back then.
Thanks for the Spirit chapter 11 warning. If you booked early with them, you could lose your payment and your seat!
