Yeah, by that way they can clear whatever greenery is left in this country. From an aerial view, the whole country will look filled with buildings and airports.
I would suggest them to have fewer big airports with better road connectivity than large number of small airports which will have lots of environmental impact. After all, roads are more important for most people.
