The two diagrams illustrate Tilden Airport and the covered area in 1985 and 2015.
Generally, the place has undergone several significant renovations, which have developed the airport into a multifunctional location full of facilities.
Regarding the bottom half of the map, an area that was formerly used for airport support services was demolished in favor of the introduction of the bus and light rail station. To connect the new station, a cutting-edge light rail line parallel to the main path of the airport was constructed. The car park has been expanded on the southern side, enlarging its capacity remarkably. The two factories in the southeast corner of the airport were destroyed to pave the way for the erection of the hotel and conference center and the new airport support services.
According to the rest of the map, one notable change was that the international terminal has been transformed into an L-shape. Johnson’s farm was deconstructed to lay the foundation for several facilities. In its former section, a business park was erected to the west of the housing estate. Meanwhile, an additional runway was constructed, namely Runway Two. Because of the emergence of this runway, the old one was renamed Runway One.
