Mighty Machines - Season 01 Episode 04 - at the airport

An airport is an airfield with facilities for flights to take off and land. [1] Airports often have aircraft storage and maintenance facilities and a control tower. An airport consists of a landing site that includes an aerally accessible free space with at least one operationally active area such as a runway for an airplane to take off [3] or a heliport [4] and often includes neighboring supply buildings such as control towers, hangars [5] and terminals , Larger airports can have fixed basic services, airport aprons, air traffic control centers, passenger facilities such as restaurants and lounges, and emergency services.

An airport with a helipad for rotorcraft, but no runway is called heliport. An airport for seaplanes and amphibious aircraft is referred to as a seaplane base. Such a base typically includes a stretch of open water for takeoffs and landings, and seaplane docks for tying.

An international airport has additional customs and immigration facilities.

In warfare, airports can become the focus of intense fighting, such as the Battle of Tripoli Airport or the Battle of Donetsk Airport, both of which take place in 2014. An airport that is mainly used for military purposes is called airbase or air station.

Most airports in the world are owned by local, regional or national authorities.
