In this history of international airports, we focus on several airports to illustrate the developments and technology of their construction and operation, beginning with Miamiโs Dinner Key and including New York Cityโs LaGuardia and JFK, Londonโs Gatwick, Dulles near Washington, D.C., Los Angelesโ LAX, Denver International, Japanโs Kansai, and Koreaโs new Inchon. It all began on a farmerโs field near a flat beachโthe next step may see them expand into interplanetary platforms!
