In this issue we take a look at routes and destinations. The Olympic Games will be welcoming eight million ticket holders and the Paralympics two million this summer, meaning London’s airports will have their work cut out. With Heathrow already under fire in the press, we look at how well prepared UK airports really are for 2012’s Olympic and Paralympic Games.

As emerging Asian and Middle Eastern destinations compete for stopover business, top-quality airport design is a must. We ask leading architects about the creation of new major transport hubs in the regions.
We also take a look at BAA’s IT blueprint for the future and ask Moscow’s Sheremetyevo airport how a new management centre has improved efficiency and find out how a new green taxiing system by Safran and Honeywell could help airports cut carbon and cost.
Finally, we ask operators at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol how a pioneering smart cargo system has cut down on bureaucracy and check points, but improved the speed, safety and reliability of transactions.
