*What is an airport?
ReplyDeleteAn airport is a facility where passengers and freight are made ready for air transportation. It also means a place where aircraft land and take off.
Airlines chose airports for their hubs. A hub is the central airport of an airline which transfers passengers and freight to their final destination. There are several different kinds of airports, such as international airports, domestic airports and regional airports.
IATA which is the International Air Transport Association gives codes to airports. For instance Doha airport: DOH and Dubai airport: DXB. So, airports are like a doorway into a country, so each country has to be careful about what and who is moving in and out of the country. On some time, airport provides and orders support services for passengers, airlines and government.
Support services are very important for the airport, because they are the services that are provided to help passengers, airlines and the government in many ways. Firstly for passengers, who are the most important customers of an airport in terms of numbers, the airport provides efficient baggage systems, online Internet for business people and play ground for kids.
In addition, the airport provides a gate rental, refueling and routine maintenance for airlines. Finally for government, it provides security and customs. So, support services are significant and turning an airport into a profitable one.
