Now onto Airport expansion :D

Goals:
1. Airport expansion should be one of the "ultimate" project (hence pricey)
2. Airport expansion should require involvement of multiple airlines beyond certain scale threshold
3. Airlines that contribute to the airport expansion will be provided with some permanent slots
4. Airport expansion affects the "population radius" of an airport. Hence it will see more population coverage after the expansion, other close by airport will see a drop in population coverage

I am concerned about #4. In particular, it gives me an easy way to dump my massive (nine figure) pile of cash onto kneecapping Narita :P.

Actually #4 makes me think that a valuable and probably-easy addition to the game would be something Starlight proposed a few months ago: a recognition that some airport serve the same metro area and pooling their populations. His suggested implementation was, as I recall, invisible zero-cost infinite-capacity connecting flights between, for example, IAD and DCA. (Maybe prevent these flights from counting against the 4 hop limit?)
