Guess what I just rallied about Tokyo Haneda Airport

[American6]

I found out that Tokyo International Airport (Haneda) is the only airport needed for Tokyo. Narita wash't needed. Want to know why? Because Haneda is actually partly off shore, it could be expanded to the east enormously. Did Tokyo made a bad decision to build Narita? Perhaps so. Haneda by the east, there is just water. What Tokyo could have done instead of building Narita could have just expanded Haneda by building east. When Haneda was the only airport, it was too congested so a better approach instead of making a new airport was just add a giant terminal along with another runway. You can expand Haneda as much as you want as long as it is east. If you look at Haneda on google maps, you can see it is easy to expand the airport building east. Oh note in the title when I said rallied, I meant to say realized. Silly mistake!

What makes you think it is easy. Have you done this before?

Google can be your friend...you really should learn to use it...

Use it and you'll find that Haneda was once not just the international airport but the only airport in Tokyo. Because it was located on the edge of Tokyo Bay, expansion would be both costly and difficult - adding land in Tokyo Bay at that time (mid to late 1960's) was not as easy as today, although today it's still not cheap to produce dry land in open water.

As demand for air travel to/from Tokyo and Japan increased, the decision was made to build what became NRT outside Tokyo in a rural area near the villages of Sanrizuka and Shibayama where the Imperial Household had a large farm estate. Of course, like elsewhere such as IAD, what once was a rural area became built up so now NRT has no room for expansion. Hence the construction of additional land in Tokyo Bay and the move of Haneda to the new land. The problem is that Haneda has a noise curfew which limits attractive slots for Europe/N America flights. Until that is resolved, it's attractiveness as an international airport will be limited.
