3rd runway and possible 4th terminal for Soekarno-Hatta International Airport of Jakarta (Jabodetabek) being under construction, and recently finished Kertajati Airport near Cirebon / Indramayu which is supposed to replace Bandung's Husein Sastranegara Airport (which might well be located smack dab in the middle of the city) and lure some traffic away from Soekarno-Hatta. But they're about as destructive as each other, at least from land clearance perspective. In the case of Kertajati, it's a good 180 km and 60 km from Jakarta and Bandung respectively, with no easy transport connection for the time being. A new tollroad is being made from Bandung towards Kertajati but it's still a good few years away from completion, and while plans were made for railways (the area around Kertajati being planned to become the future seat of government of West Java province after all) these plans might well be a good decade away. But it is a large airport in an area that's fairly populated and could definitely use some of it (many have seen the project being slightly political as well since the area had campaigned to become their own province in the past). Soekarno-Hatta is probably still good for some more decades - developments are just catching up to it, and it still have room for expansion (with some land clearing), all the while new transit connections are being made to it. But after that point we might need to start think of a proper replacement. There have been proposals for replacement around Karawang (40-50 km away to the east from Jakarta) and around Purwakarta (70-80 km away to the east from Jakarta), but the presence of Kertajati sort of spoils it, so it might end up being on the west side once again. Other than that, nearly all airports around Indonesia are appealing to expand for at least small jetliners, and long-distance jetliners for larger ones. It is an archipelago after all, and air travel is still the fastest and easiest way around.

To be fair, propellers were less high-pitched than jetliners, and Heathrow were built in the time of propeller airplanes.

Schiphol is intersting in that it gradually moves out further and futher from Amsterdam. The area behind the remote runway could easily be developed into terminals and stuff.

@bayareaaviation17 They made Concorde and Hovercraft too, so no surprises honestly. Guess you should see Jay Foreman's videos.

@stanislavkostarnov2157 Guess when they were made... We were really bonkers back then. Only starting to get slightly sensible again.
