AIRPORT

Airport is a place where airplanes and other aircraft land and take off. Airplanes have become the chief means of long-distance travel, and so airports are very important transportation terminals.

Big city airports are busy, exiting places. Overhead, planes circle the field, waiting their turn to land. On the ground, one plane after another takes off. Automobiles, buses, and taxis pull to the passenger terminal to pick up or drop off travellers. Thousands of people jam the terminal area. Most of them are travellers. Some are air and airline employees. Others go to airports to greet athletes, politicians, and other celebrities and to meet friends and relatives arriving for a visit.

The largest airports resemble small cities. They may have shops, hotels, restaurants, and movie theatres, as well as their own police force, fir department, medical facilities are needed to handle the day-to-day traffic at an airport. These services become especially important when flight delays occur or emergencies arise.

Airports differ from other transportation terminals, such as bus or train stations, in two important ways: (1) they require more land, and (2) they are usually located away from the centres of the cities they serve. Because airports require so much land, most of them are built on the edge of town. As a result, many airports have poor connections with public transportation. Most bus and trains stations, on the other hand, are in town, convenient to public transportation.
