Yeah, but shiny new high towers are the latest "wants" for airport - LPL, new Bangkok come to mind, with a bit of thought HKG, Incheon (enormous - they had to take into account windsway at the top - fab view though), Guangzhou Baiyun (I think). Even EDI is getting in on the act. At the moment, bigger is definitely better...

trying hard not to make any comments about male airport managers feeling inadequate... trying very hard...
