Airport




An airport is a place where airplanes take off and land. At a large airport, giant planes such as “jumbo jets” may take off or land every few minutes. More than 100,000 people may pass through such an airport everyday.

Passengers who are coming or going pass through buildings called terminals. Here airline workers check passengers’ ticket and help them with their luggage.

An airport has many runways. These are long highways on which the airplane take off and land. An airport also has a control tower. The people in the control tower are called air traffic controllers. They talk by radio to the pilots who fly the airplanes. They tell the pilots when it is safe to take off and to land. Other workers in the ground crew make sure the plane’s engines are working and that the plane has enough fuel
