1. Airport is an area of land adapted for the landing and takeoff of aircraft. Large airports provide terminal buildings for the arrival and departure of passengers, as well as maintenance and repair facilities for aircraft. Airports are sometimes referred to as aerodromes, though this is considered an oldfashioned and small airport.

2. The first airports were simply grass fields (airfields) but as aircraft became heavier, paved runways were developed. This also meant that airplanes could land and take off in all weather conditions. Over the years airports have become bigger and busier with elaborate terminal buildings to improve passenger comfort. The world’s biggest airport is now considered to be Atlanta. Heathrow airport is generally recognized as the world’s biggest international airport.

3. Airports are divided into landside and airside areas. Airside areas are where the airplanes can be found. These include runways and taxiways, as well as stands, where aircraft are parked for providing direct access to the terminal building through an air bridge or jetway. The airside area also includes the apron, where several aircraft may park at a distance from the terminal building (buses then take passengers to and from the aircraft). Landside areas include shops, restaurants, car parks and check-in areas, and are more accessible to the general public. Access from landside areas to airside areas is tightly controlled at most airports. Passengers on commercial flights access airside areas through terminals, where they can purchase tickets, clear security, check or claim luggage and board aircraft through gates. Baggage is scanned by X-ray machines, passengers walk through metal detectors. Airport security normally requires baggage checks, metal screenings of individual persons, and rules against any object that could be used as a weapon. The waiting areas which provide passenger access to aircraft are typically called concourses.

4. Air Traffic Control (ATC) is usually provided from a control tower situated on-site. At major airports ATC is separated into ground control (responsible for aircraft and all other vehicles using the apron and taxiways) and tower control (responsible for aircraft landing and taking off on the runways). Approach control handles aircraft which have just taken off or are about to land. En-route traffic is controlled at an area control centre, which can be situated anywhere, as the aircraft are only visible on a controller’s radar screen.

5. Small airports may have only one runway but most major airports have several. Runways need to be laid out to make optimum use of the prevailing winds because aircraft need to take off and land directly into the wind if possible. The three main runway configurations are parallel runways, open-V runways (they diverge but do not intersect, when viewed overhead the shape is a ‘V’), and intersecting runways.

6. At international airports all runways must have ground markings and standardized lighting according to agreed international standards. The threshold and direction of a runway should be clearly marked as well as the touchdown zone and distance markers at various points.

7. Air safety is an important concern in the operation of an airport, and almost every airfield includes equipment and procedures for handling emergency situations. Commercial airfields include one or more emergency vehicles and their crews that are specially equipped for dealing with airfield accidents, crew and passenger extractions, and the hazards of highly flammable aviation fuel. The crews are also trained to deal with situations such as bomb threats, hijacking, and terrorist activities.
