5:32 am
bursting at the seams. they have added more flights increasingly, tarmacs are crowded, terminals are packed and airports are struggling to keep up with booming business. >> in terms of new airports in america, we haven't seen one built in decades and you go to china, all they're doing is building rail and airports these are economic engines for the economy of these countries, and we, we are way, way far behind >> reporter: some airports like new york's laguardia and salt lake city, are building all new terminals while dallas has added more gates upgraded facilities to handle more passengers rs b, but more be needed. >> great dining, we need shopping, comfortable places, places to charge our phones,
5:33 am
places to take our kids. >> when there's a long layover, there's nowhere to eat >> reporter: when this new terminal is finished later this year it will cap a fee of-year project, but it won't be the end of airport construction in the u.s. as more realize they will need to build more airports to accommodate the growing number of people looking to fly >> which other airports are getting improvements mike boyd is president and ceo of boyd group international, an aviation consultancy for the airport in new orleans who actually pays for that, and how is airport spending usually funded >> it depends place to place but ultimately, the consumer pays for it. in new orleans, where we've helped them grow in the past ten years, it's one of those issues whereas more people use it, the cost per passenger goes down everybody pays, but you're going
5:34 am
to be paying less at a new airport in new orleans than you would in the old one >> people wanted places to eat, places to hang out with the kids and do things. are they more about the consumer experience or fixing things so the planes get in and out more quickly? >> it's both let's be real clear here i don't know of anybody who wants to stay in an airport any longer than you have to. but when you do have to be there it's great to have great concessions, a convenient, clean place. and airports across america fill that bill, some of the older ones and the ones they're building today >> why are so many of the airports in this nation allowed to get run down and overcrowded for so many years? >> i don't know if that's an accurate statement we have 4,000 airports in america, commercial and non-commercial china's building them, but building them in a place where they have absolutely nothing in laguardia, we have shopping
5:35 am
malls bigger than that place laguardia was built as a wonder of the world in 1939 it was rebuilt in the '60s as a world class airport. in the 1960s, the biggest airplane may have been 160 seats. it's hard to rebuild kennedy airport and los angeles. >> they've got infrastructure that's built up all around them, what do you do in a situation like that? do you have to scrap it and start over or are they going to be things that make a huge difference? >> having basically grown-up and worked at laguardia, what they've done at that airport is not a construction project but magic. it's just amazing. but it's that kind of engineering feat o'hare is adding more in chicago. san francisco. it's always a process to look at how do you move more people on
5:36 am
bigger airplanes through an airport. i don't criticize america. we built our airport sis themysn the 1940s and '50s >> how do we keep up with that growing passenger demand and make sure that things are safe, that things are efficient? how do we do it? >> i think we're moving in the right direction. air traffic in america is going to grow about 25% over the next ten years. today an airport director, his job is not to have gates leased but fully utilized there's a lot of ram to oom to n that >> the better and more efficient airports, will that bring in competition? >> airplane economics are related, but building a new airport doesn't create new airlines it depends on the consumer
5:37 am
it's great to have an airport more fish the fefficient for th. but in terms of attracting competition there's a whole other set of dynamics that drive that >> most of what we've talked about have been the big airports what about the airports in smaller cities how do we get more investment in those sorts of airports? is there a need for federal push or can that be done the same way? >> one of this thing we have to get rid of is the idea that we have to have service at every airport. weave ha we have to go to, an hour to get to an airport is not a bad thing. bloomington, illinois has just built a new airport. >> an hour away to get to your airport. >> if you live in long island, nobody's screaming about the hour to get to laguardia

5:43 am
$2100 per sexual assault case for the traditional method they expect it to be cheaper than the traditional method. for all types of crime in kentucky, it would be expensive, up to $7 million a year. >> time is money, and the time is saves us will actually balance out with the cost of the reagents because the hours that i have to pay people versus what it costs to run it. >> reporter: beyond the cost savings is the time savings. results that used to take six to 18 months can now be completed much more quickly, speeding up police investigations. >> that turn around time for us is within five days. we may get the opportunity to put a name to a potential suspect. yes. that's exciting. that is ground breaking stuff. >> reporter: and like that trooper taking off there, kentucky officials say there is

5:47 am
-and waiting on hold. what we don't like is relying on fancy technology for help. snail mail! we were invited to a y2k party... uh, didn't that happen, like, 20 years ago? oh, look, karolyn, we've got a mathematician on our hands! check it out! now you can schedule a callback or reschedule an appointment, even on nights and weekends. today's xfinity service. simple. easy. awesome. i'd rather not. ♪ from helping people find the right hairstylist to helping beauty professionals run their businesses, there is a technology platform that aims to do both. joining us is the co-founder and ceo. >> thanks for having me. >> how does style seat work? >> we are a business platform
5:48 am
for independent beauty professionals. we help them run and grow their business we give them a website, help with online booking, process all of their transactions. and on the consumer side we are a destination and app for consumers to search, book and pay for appointments you can see lots of portfolios of stylists, get photos of their work >> how did you come up with this idea was it really the result of a bad haircut? >> it is i was very upset i moved to san francisco and tried to find a hairstylist and just felt really frustrated by the fact that even though i didn't have a lot of money i wanted to find the great stylist that had my vibe, that would be able to work with my hair texture, that were in my budget, and there was no information about it so you walk into a salon >> you take a chance every time you walk in. >> you walk in and say are they good yeah, they're totally good and the prices change without you really knowing, and i felt
5:49 am
like there should be a better way. and when you talk to stylists, they don't have great skills to market themselves. >> when you say independent, does that mean they're in a salon or not in a salon? >> most of them are in salons. you probably don't know if your stylist is independent versus being an employee of the salon however, salons often take 60% or more of the revenue of stylists that work there when they're employees. so there's been this huge movement in the beauty industry to becoming independent and being an entrepreneur and growing your business, doing what you love and supporting your family. the challenge is that the professionals aren't necessarily passionate about business fu fundamentals they're artists. we let them focus on being artists and working with their clients.
5:50 am

5:51 am
the capital, the higher the engineers to build this very powerful technology. and then we're also educating beauty industry. and we're building a consumer brand and acquiring clients and building that. so it's a complicated business, but it's been really great we're doing over $1 billion in appointments booked across our platform to this point so we have been able to reach scale. and the majority has happened via word of mouth, which is great. >> and of the billion dollars that you've booked how much do you get paid >> we take a subscription fee from the hairstylists, $35 a month fee, and an it 2.75% transaction fee. thank you for coming you know, it's a complicated business it seems like it would be easy, but listening to the logistics, it tells you how complicated it
