An airport is a facility where aircraft
such as airplanes, helicopters, and blimps operate.
An airport minimally consists of at least one surface such as a runway,
a helipad, or water for takeoffs and landings, and often includes
buildings such as as hangars and terminal buildings.
Additionally, larger airports may have a variety of facilities and
infrastructure, including fixed base operator services, seaplane docks and
ramps, air traffic control, passenger facilities such as restaurants and
lounges, and emergency services. A military airport is known as an airbase
or air station. |

The terms airfield, airstrip, and aerodrome may also be used to refer
to airports of varying sizes, and the specialized terms heliport,
seaplane base, and STOLport refer to airports dedicated exclusively to
helicopters, seaplanes, or short takeoff and landing aircraft. In some
jurisdictions, the term airport is used where the facility is licensed
as such by the relevant government organization (e.g. Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), Transport Canada). Elsewhere the distinction is
merely one of general appearance. Yet other areas define an airport by
its having the necessary customs offices etc expected of a port,
though the more general term is airport of entry. |
