So the Dutch consider an off-shore airport and then reach the more sensible conclusion of using an existing runway which can be reached from major population centres in / around Amsterdam within the hour.
Meanwhile, in the UK, we cast aside the obvious usage of existing London area airports (of which there are many) and place our hopes on an island airport which really is, you guessed it, in the middle of nowhere.
Then again, AMS already has 6 runways, but lacks terminal capacity, whereas LHR still only has 2.
If this airport does develop into a low cost base of the 2m pax pa mark, will there be a direct rail link into the terminal, or just a bus from Lelystad?
