Lincoln (LNK) Airport Updates

[Husker15]

Why did Lincoln expand in 2022 and Omaha currently doing a major renovation when, in my simple mind, it would have made way more sense to put an airport in gretna.

This would be great for Lincoln but why would Omaha ever agree to this. 90% of flyers use them anyway so they have 0 incentive to move.

1. As Omaha continues to grow west, Eppley gets further and further away for those folks.
2. If you had a larger airport, say in the Ashland area, I'm fairly sure that the I-80 corridor would, overnight, become a huge industrial park.
3. Even though Eppley is technically in Nebraska, let's be honest, it's in Cockeye and there's just something really wrong about that.
