"It's a scene repeated endlessly at most of Southeast Asia's main airports - planes forced to circle overhead or idle on the tarmac and travellers stuck in serpentine queues at immigration desks, security checkpoints and baggage carousels. And it's likely to get worse in capitals like Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, Bangkok and Manila in years to come as overcrowded airports and outdated infrastructure are twinned with a huge spike in the number of aircraft in the region."
This quote adequately summarizes the article. Growing demand, more planes, and fixed infrastructure means problems for transportation.
I think it's obvious why I felt this was relevant. : )

I hope we aren't caught in one of these planes! The demand for travel in Asia, with such a high population must be enormous. I'd be surprised if we didn't get caught in at least one major delay on our trip. Hopefully it's not on our way back home!

This article is definitely relevant to us. We can only hope and pray that we aren't a part of it. I can definitely see how it would affect us though. Very interesting read.
