Thanks an interesting point. How do you mean? I’m not sure what input Amazon could have on infrastructure. The thing is that Atlanta is a busy airport because it has over 200 gates so it flies direct to a lot of places.
The Austin Airport will have around 30 gates when Amazon would get up and running and maybe around 60 when Amazon hits their final phase of 2hq expansion.
I feel like the main priority with the value of the airport are direct connections. The extra hours of connecting flights is lost cost and it adds up.
