The
airport is a complex hub of transportation. It services passengers, baggage and cargo while monitoring air and
ground vehicles. The first one hundred years of flight have witnessed a tremendous amount of change in aircraft
and the airports that support and service them. The airport is a zone for transitioning passengers and cargo from
the land-based transportation network to the air-based transportation system. Airport design influences airport
capacity, safety and efficiency of operations on the ground and in the air.
