Detroit Wayne County Airport

Decent Essays
My case study is on the Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW). Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW) is Michigan's busiest airport, and one of the largest air transportation hubs in the country serving 22 airlines and around 33 million passengers each year. The airport is presently moderately congested and it is predicted to continue to increase over the next 15 years, which would place a heavier burden on the airport further resulting in the airport congestion and flight delay. Flight delay is complex to explain, because a flight can be out of schedule due to problems at the airport of origin, at the destination airport, or during the airborne. A combination of these factors often occurs. Delays can sometimes also be attributable

    Walter Salles’s 1998 drama “Central Station” was a movie that was hard to fit into a specific category. While it weighed heavy on the dramatic side, there were elements of comedy and thriller that made the film very different from any normal film about two people. The film drifted between various sub-genres, but the movie felt more like a mix between a road movie, an odd buddy film, and a complex relationship study. If we focus mostly on the setting on the film, the film feels a lot like your standard road movie. We have a rambunctious couple traveling across their country to meet their goals.…
