Why should this airport be added to World of Airports?
2nd Largest American Airlines hub. Although doesn’t have diverse traffic, the sheer amount of routes would overshadow the cons (191 to be exact). Also adds as a megahub for ops across the US and Central/Latin America. A large terminal with 124 gates (possible expansion) and 3 runways + 1 (Under construction) would be a perfect large-scale US airport.
