An airport must have certain elements and meet several requirements. An airport consists of three main parts:The area where airplanes take off and land, the facilities to keep track of them and a series of services for users. Each of these must fulfill its main function and relate to the others in order for the airport to function properly.

Likewise, their design should seek to: -Reduce the delay in the different landing and taxiing operations. -To reduce the distance from the terminal to the ends of the runway. -To achieve an optimal separation for the organization of air traffic. The importance of the pavement should be mentioned. It must comply with specific technical specifications, since all aircraft operations will take place on it.

tracks

The tracks will depend on: -On the expected traffic. -The direction of the prevailing winds.

They must have lateral margins, a strip, jet-jet resistant areas and a complementary safety area, in order to reduce accidents caused by short landings.

Airport terminal security has emerged as a top priority in the modern airport landscape. With the advancement of technology, there has been a significant evolution in security methods, from advanced scanning and detection systems to the implementation of artificial intelligence to analyze behavioral patterns. Airport terminals have integrated proactive measures to ensure the protection of passengers and employees, with stringent controls at key points such as check-in, security and customs.

Airport terminals are often designed to provide amenities and services to travelers, such as waiting areas, stores, restaurants, car rental services, and other travel-related services. In addition, terminals may be divided into specific areas, such as domestic and international terminals, or by specific airlines.

An airport terminal is a facility located at an airport that serves as a meeting point for passengers and aircraft.These are the buildings where all passenger boarding and disembarking processes take place in an aircraft: ticket purchase, baggage check-in, security control.... Therefore, they will be located in such a way as to allow easy and brief access to the runways, so that the processes are as fast and efficient as possible

Terminal

There are two types of terminals

The main terminal of an airport represents the epicenter of airport activity, being the nerve center where most operations and passenger experiences converge. This imposing building not only serves as a gateway for aircraft, but also houses a variety of essential services, from check-in and security areas to shopping and waiting areas.

The satellite terminal of an airport is a strategic extension of the airport infrastructure, designed to efficiently manage the growing flow of passengers and flights. Often located in strategic positions on the airfield, this terminal operates in synergy with the main terminal, relieving congestion and providing additional services.

Satellite terminal

Airports offer a variety of services that can be classified into different categories: -Ground handling services -Air navigation services -Security services -Passenger handling services

Services

Some examples of ground handling services include: -Loading and unloading of baggage -Aircraft fueling -Aircraft technical maintenance -Provision of food and beverages on board

Ground handling services

Air navigation is the process of directing and controlling an aircraft from takeoff to landing, using advanced procedures and technologies. These include global positioning systems (GPS), radar and visual aids, which ensure flight safety and efficiency. It is crucial to modern aviation, enabling precise flights and reducing the risk of accidents.

Air navigation services

Security is one of the most important aspects of airport security. It includes everything from baggage inspection to surveillance in different areas of the airport. These services ensure that no incidents occur and that flights run smoothly. -Security inspection at checkpoints -Security camera monitoring -Patrolling of facilities

Security services

vA crucial aspect of airport services is passenger care. This includes information services, assistance in cases of delays or cancellations, and the provision of amenities such as lounges and rest areas. The quality of these services can significantly improve the passenger experience, making travel more pleasant.Over time, airport services have evolved to include advanced technologies and innovative solutions. For example, the use of artificial intelligence to streamline security screening and the automation of logistics processes has significantly improved operational efficiency. These advances not only increase security, but also passenger satisfaction, which is crucial for airports that handle a high volume of air traffic.These are some other examples of services:-Information centers for assistance and orientation-Comfortable lounges and rest areas-Assistance services in case of delays or cancellations

Passenger handling services

Maintenance: consists of the revision and repair of shock absorbers, tyres, etc... of the landing gear and the preservation and protection of those components that do not require disassembly.

Plane maintenance

How they communicate: via systems such as radio, or via controller pilot data link commucations. These messages are in radio alphabet, to facilitate communication.

Staff: controlled by a control tower operator whose responsibilities include giving clearances and instructions to pilots to allow their aircraft to enter the airspace, take-off and land on runways or helipads.

Function: to avoid collisions, manage traffic flow and provide crucial information to aircraft.

Control tower: a building in the form of a tower, at the top of which a control room is located.

Control tower

Pilots: commercial pilots make critical in-flight decisions, communicate effectively with ground personnel and manage potential emergency situations.
