...project, which will include residential housing, hotel, office and business facilities and a parking area, will fill one-third of the 4.23 acre lot. The remainder will be taken up by the Kennedy School of Government and a park commemorating former President John F. Kennedy...

Some other transatlantic lines may do so too -but not Laker's state-owned competitor, British Airways. British authorities do not plan to grant British Airways a Skytrain-type license...
