Description
Billions have been spent building mega-airports that struggle to attract passengers, collapse financially, or face extraordinary engineering problems. From Indonesia’s Kertajati Airport, built for millions but handling barely a few hundred people a day, to Sri Lanka’s underused Mattala Airport and Pakistan’s enormous Gwadar runway, this documentary explores why ambitious airport projects have failed to meet expectations.
But not every troubled airport is empty. Japan’s Kansai International Airport continues to handle tens of millions of passengers while its artificial islands sink, and Berlin Brandenburg is still dealing with the legacy of years of delays and rising costs. Which airport is in the most trouble—and which one could face the biggest problems next?
