2. Introduction
Airport is a place where aero planes and aircrafts take off and land
passengers and cargo.
Airports are busy, exciting places overhead planes approach the airport
on their assigned routes called traffic patterns.

shopping malls.
Runways must be long enough and wide enough to handle the largest
planes.

such as administration, finance, operations etc..
An airport must operate like a business. Airports rent space to the
airlines for offices, ticket counters and baggage areas

telephones in the terminal, landing fees paid by the airlines and in some
airports, a passenger tax.
