Airports take money from passengers and planes in taxes. They should have contingency plans for delays involving people sleeping overnight, whether its a plane crash or cancellations caused by weather. It doesn't need to be 5 star accommodation, just something better than sleeping on
the floor.
For example, an underground bunker village with bunk beds, dormitories in a hangar, converted coaches containing bunk beds or simply sleeper seats - or old planes and couchette trains, even army troop carriers.
Get all schools and universities to enter a competition to come up with ideas. In good weather get volunteers to build the facilities - paid with free off-peak flights.
More thoughts for travellers, too. outfits zipped so that make warm clothes which look like ski outfits but convert into sleeping bags. Get the fashion students and art students onto this.
