    OST/EBOS : 0.5km/0.3mi (not even 5min. by bike)
    BRU/EBBR : 125km/78mi (1h15 by car)
    AMS/EHAM : 280km/174mi (2h35 by car)
    CDG/LFPG : 290km/180mi (2h45 by car)
    LHR ... hmmm 1 hour flight from BRU (=1 hour drive to get there)

    Unfortunatly, I don't have my drivers-licence yet ... So I have to wait untill a friend of mine goes to one of these airports.

    Greetz,

    I live apx. 7-10 Km. from the terminals in Copenhagen, but 2-3 Km. from treshold 04R/L.

    When 22 is in use, I can sit in the kitchen or in the garden and watch departures.

    Technically any airport "reasonably" close to town can succeed if the infrastructure is there. Unfortunately, it seems to be popular North American (or maybe just Canadian?) culture that this is poorly done or not done at all. Just ask Mirabel. I don't know what the situation is in Edmonton, so I can't really say much about that.

    Here in southern Ontario, I hear that they're starting to dig land in Pickering. It was land purchased some years ago by the government when they planned to build a new airport there. I certainly hope they don't build the airport there and shut down Pearson. I'm pretty damn sure it won't come with a high speed rail, and I refuse to drive 1+ hour to the airport!



    by the way, I live a few blocks away from dave_333, so refer to him for my distance to YYZ.

    Anyways, I am all of 10 minutes from my door to the airport terminal at YYC. I can see aircraft departing off runway 10 or landing on 28 right from my living room window in NW Calgary... it's great.
    It would appear that both you and I answered this. Convienience! Especially for the bussiness people who want to get in and out quickly. A retarded idea building YEG (a mickey mouse airport)30 minutes south of town and closing XD to commercial jet traffic. Forcing everyone entering the city to either pay a cab or rent a vehicle. If I have to drive an hour,then sit 1 and one half more for a 22 minute flight, I just as soon drive. It takes no longer! We had 2 airports for years. Blatchford field was doing fine until people started crying about noise. The airport existed well before any houses. Stupid move!

    The Downtown airport here has been butchered a few years ago and only permits puddle hoppers of 15 pax and less. I used to catch the 732's to YYC. A 10 minute drive got me to XD. I now must traverse a a good 1 hour + to catch the same flight at YEG. Closing out jet aircraft from XD was and always will be one of Edmonton's biggest blunders for business. And we wonder why Calgary gets it!

    8 miles SW of YYZ. About a 20 minute drive on a good day. Could be an hour when the 401 is in bad shape, you local guys know what I mean.
