Is there any way of getting two airports together, i'm using already the largest airport available but sooo many planes.

Currently i get "too close to another airport", is there anyway of building anothern ext to it, so the planes spread themselves across the two airports essentially becoming one?

or is this a case of i need to cut down the planes and reroute or change the route into a train? In the below screenshot i was trying to build one at the other side of the train station, into the greenery.

As far as I know that's not possible. If you use CargoDest, I suppose what you can do is put the airports close together (obv. have the settings allow for multiple airports per city), then connect them through a circular feeder bus/tram/... route to distribute passengers among the different airports through different routes; either just duplicating all routes or use different airports for different routes. Not sure how effective that will be though.

I'm pretty sure there was a patch for this, but I can't tell where, as actually you simply cannot put two airports in one station.

Currently there is not. A single station can only contain one airport

As an interesting note: the intercontinental is not the most efficient airport in terms of through-put, the international is (IIRC).

Oh really? Does the 2 in 2 out runways instead of the 1 in 1 out of the international not make up for it, or is there some movements across the airport itself that slows it down?

There was some fancy maths and analysis performed a long time ago which should still be relevant, since I doubt any of the mechanics in question have changed. See here: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=47279#p857237

Sadly the image host seems to have flaked out and all the image links are broken, but the result summaries are still there.

Thank you for digging out the posting I remembered reading!
