We are creating larger and larger passenger airplanes all the time, requiring the expansion of major airports that are already micro-cities out in the sticks for various reasons. This is, apparently, an economy of scale, where bigger craft means less cost per passenger, but requires massive infrastructure to support it.
Now, if someone figures out how to reduce the size of the planes, their piloting requirements and the logistics involved, we get a totally different situation. That's as long as this is all cheaper than the centralised option. If it is cheaper, everyone can fly more and fly to more convenient destinations. That would be one of the biggest wins in history.
