  2. An airport is a large facility which is a place for planes to take off or land. And also, it is a point of entry to the country. It is used for the transportation of passengers and goods too. In my opinion, I think that security is the most important role in the airport because people want to feel safe in this place, and also the airport is a doorway into country, so it must reflect what a country is like.

    An airport provides support services and it is very important for passengers. For example: it has a concourse where the duty-free shops and restaurant are located. In addition it provides a wireless for passengers if they want to use the internet. Moreover, there is place for currency exchange and banking if the passenger needs to exchange his money. The support services are necessary for all passengers and staff in the airport.

  3. The airport is the place where aircraft take off and land, it is the main place for transportation is done. Some airline chooses an airport as their hub. The role of airports nowadays is the safety and security, to transport passengers or goods safely.
    In the other hand, airports have to provide support services for the customers from passengers or airlines. It’s important to provide restaurants, shops, restrooms and Wi-Fi in the concourse because some passengers stay in the airport for long time and they will need these things.
    For the airlines, airports have to provide many important services, as the baggage handling system to load the baggage. The fuel is very important for the airplanes, so they have to provide fuel in the fuel depot. Air traffic control tower is very important to give the information to the aircraft for a safe landing or take off. Airports are very important place and point in the aviation industry.

  4. An airport is the place where aircraft take off and land. Also, people can travel from their country to another country by aircraft. Security is very important for the airport because it keep everything safe.
    An airport is a big building with many facilities such as: terminals, concourse, wireless, dining, kid’s areas and control tower, to name a few. The terminal is a main building that passengers go to when they arrive at the airport and you can browse the internet in the airport if they have wireless. Furthermore, the control tower is a tall building that transfers the air-traffic information to the pilot. The concourse is a facility that offer duty-free and restaurants in the airport.
    An airport should provide support services such as: de-icing re-fuelling, check-in and catering. It’s very important to have support services because passengers need this to be safe in their flight. De-icing is a machine that can remove the ice from the wings, re-fuelling is the service which can put fuel in the aircraft and they can use it for aircraft and air-freight.

  5. An airport is a big facility that aircraft could land in and take off from it, it’s a point of entry to the country and the government should handle the airport’s passengers very carefully because they represent the income of the country.

    Airports also have a huge role which is transporting passengers by air to their destination safely because that is the main role of any airports. Airports also have more than one facility, infact they have many.

    First of all they have the parking area which you could park your car and there are two parking areas, long-term parking and short-term parking then they have the terminal where you can to check-in and it is accessible to the public then you will go to the concourse where you can eat, shop and rest if you want but its only allowed for passengers to go in, after that you can board at the gates and get in the airplane. These facilities that I just mentioned are called support services that serve the passengers and give them what they need.

    Airlines also have support services but not like the passengers, airlines pay money to the airports to take care of the airplanes by refueling, de-icing and routine maintenance to check if the airplane is working probably and up the standards or below, and that is the airport role to check the aircrafts.

    An airport is a large facility where aircraft such as planes and helicopters take off and land. Also it helps the government to control the movement of passengers and cargo. There are lots of facilities .For examples: terminal and this is the first place where passengers can go to it and it’s allowed for everybody and some airports have more than one terminal. The large facility in the airport where you can find the shops and restaurants is concourse and I think it’s important to be there restaurants and shops because some passengers spend a lot of time in airport also I think it’s important for the income for the country . The services in the airport are very important for example: security must be there to keep the passengers safe and to protect the country, but I think the most important services is special needs because there are some people need this service and the passengers will feel happy and there lots of services that are very important and must be in the airport because the airport is the point of entry of the country so should be in a good way.
