1PROJECT MANAGEMENTQuestion No 1: Is the decision to build a new airport at Denver strategically a sounddecision?Give reasons and justify your answerYes, the decision to build the airport at Denver strategically a sound decision. Thereason behind such is that Denver’s former airport was undergoing a rapid developmentbefore the deregulations (Keller et al. 2015). The deregulation refers to the competitionamong open market that could bring the access to air traveling within the reach of commonpeople, hence maximizing the air traffic at that airport. With the same, the local council ofgovernment anticipated that the Stapleton airport will unable to manage the required trafficby 2000. The airport could have been updated by giving it a sublet of life for the next coming5 years, yet the remote place of Denver meant that the potential issue would still linger andhas the potential to cause the Denver city to lose its important business.Furthermore, the Stapleton airport was one among the important connecting airports(D’Andrea 2013). It was also ranked among the top eleven worst air traffic congestions in theUnited States. Such congestions at the Denver airport influenced the other airports as well, asit used to have only two runways which were situated very close to each other that in badweather were regarded to be one (De Neufville 2016). The newly build airport wasdesignated to resolve these congestion problems for the city. The earlier Stapleton airport was highly influenced by the winds of inflated velocity and thishas created in the operations being transfered to the other directions (Wesley et al. 2013).This procedure has wasted about forty five minutes. The new airport on the other hand wouldbring this wasted time to four minutes and this in turn will save both the time and cost for thevery airport. The new airport covers a total land area of about 140 km2. It is to be the largestairports in the United States in current days and has the potential to handle about 50m ofpassengers every year.
