Instead, "aerial airstrip" on slide 21 would make a ton of sense. Move airports from the ground to above the clouds (3km up in the air?). Advantages:
1) 10-15% less fuel consumption (after take-offs you are already at 3km altitude)
2) much less noise for the surroundings
3) less subject to bad weather conditions.
etc.
Glad you like the aerial airstrip
