And the larger ones by rail or sea? Shipping by air is limited to fairly specialized applications, isn't it? And as oil prices rise, and trucking becomes less affordable, what is it most likely going to be replaced by... air? Seems unlikely.
The existing airport business park - next to the airport - sits empty with no interested companies. Lloyd Ferguson (mr aerotropolis himself) said that "nobody is lining up to move into the aegd" - so who in hell are we building this for?
