Summarize Argument
The author concludes that it seems surprising that airports are now expanding their passenger terminals. This is because air traffic volume is down, and airport expansion can only be justified by increased air traffic volume.
Notable Assumptions
The author assumes that airport expansion has to be in response to current air traffic, and can’t anticipate increased air traffic later on. But if airports were taking the current lull in air traffic as an opportunity to make expansions for a later increase, then the author’s argument would be seriously weakened.
