the article that I read was posted in the Los Angeles times; written by Dan Weikel. In his article he talks about how the air ports suffer from the economy loss because a lot of people travel for vacation but because the economy is declining people are losing money and don't have the money to spend on vacationing because that is a luxury and not something they really need. The article talks about how the third most popular airport in Los Angeles lost a lot of international passengers also in the economic decline in 2005. i agree that the airports would suffer from an economic struggle because people don't really have to travel unless they travel for work. most traveling however is done when people going on vacations so if they are not making enough money for the things they want then they cant do them.This ties into class with the conversation we had a bout decision making and choosing over things you want and the things you need

What a fascinating topic! I would have never realized airports suffering from the economy. I agree that most people really only travel on an airplane for work or vacation. Now, there are many other simpler and cheaper ways to travel, such as, trains, buses etc. People only really use airports to travel extremely long distances, which for most people does not occur often. This was an interesting read! Keep up the good work!
