Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,

Futuristic airport proposed for island in middle of Thames.

As the world population increases at a historic pace, so does the number of travelers flying across countries and continents. Airlines are adding more aircraft to their fleets. New hotels with any number of stars or category are being built all over the places.

So, a simple question arises. Do already congested airports like London Heathrow have enough capacity to handle the increasing number of flights and passengers?

Here is a very futuristic plan proposed by the city. It looks not only futuristic but very unusual because it’s on the Themes to reduce noise pollution.

Enjoy reading the article and seeing the images of the old city’s futuristic plan.
