Other meanings:
An airport is a designated location for aircraft to take off and land. While smaller airports - more often called aerodromes, airfields or landing strips - might include short dirt or grassed runways, larger airports available for international flights normally feature paved strips, perhaps one or several kilometres long, together with a large complex of buildings where air traffic is controlled, passengers can embark on planes, and cargo can be stored. The buildings where passengers interface with ground transportation, purchase tickets, transfer their luggage, and go through security are typically called terminals, and the buildings that provide access to the airplanes are typically called concourses. However, these two terms can be interchangeable. Customs facilities for international travel often distinguish an airport from an airfield and require a more conspicuous level of physical security.

Airports are uniquely represented by their IATA airport code and ICAO airport code. In the USA, and in certain other countries, they are often named after a prominent local celebrity, commonly a politician.
The traffic generated by airports both in the air and on the surface can be a major source of aviation noise and air pollution which may, in extreme cases, be harmful to health or interrupt sleep. The construction of new airports, or additional runways to existing airports, is often resisted by local residents because of the destruction it causes to the countryside, historical sites, local flora and fauna etc.
An aircraft carrier is a naval ship that serves as mobile seaborne military airfield.

Airport is a 1970 film which tells the story of an airport manager trying to keep his Midwest airport open during a snowstorm, whilst a bomber plots to blow up an airplane (a Boeing 707 in this movie).Although it had a complex plot, Airport paved the way for the disaster movie genre and established many of the conventions for that genre.
It stars Burt Lancaster, Dean Martin, Jean Seberg, Jacqueline Bisset, George Kennedy, Helen Hayes, Van Heflin, Maureen Stapleton, Barry Nelson, Dana Wynter, Lloyd Nolan, Barbara Hale and Gary Collins.
The movie was adapted by George Seaton from the novel by Arthur Hailey. It was directed by Seaton and Henry Hathaway.
It won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress (Helen Hayes), and was nominated for Best Actress in a Supporting Role (Maureen Stapleton), Best Art Direction-Set Decoration, Best Cinematography, Best Costume Design (Edith Head), Best Film Editing, Best Music, Original Score, Best Picture, Best Sound and Best Writing, Screenplay Based on Material from Another Medium.
Several sequels were made, the first of which, Airport 1975, was a big-budget blockbuster featuring an all-star cast, including Charlton Heston, Karen Black, Gloria Swanson (who played herself), Myrna Loy, Linda Blair, Helen Reddy, George Kennedy, Ephraim Zimbalist Jr. This film featured the passengers and crew of a Boeing 747, and the events following a mid-air collision with a light aircraft. The pilots are incapacitated and the stewardess (Black) has to fly and land the aircraft. This movie, directed by Jack Smight, fell firmly into the blockbuster disaster movie category at the height of the genre's heyday, and established many of the "standard" plot devices and motifs that were later widely mocked in the Airplane series.
A further follow up, Airport '77, pushed the suspension of disbelief to ever more bizarre levels, in this case a 747 which crashes in the atlantic and sinks, trapping everyone on board under water. Again, a notable cast - Jack Lemmon, Lee Grant, Brenda Vaccaro, Olivia de Havilland, James Stewart, Christopher Lee, Kathleen Quinlan and of course George Kennedy - the only actor to appear in all four of the series. This sequel is generally considered the best of the four as a movie, though perhaps the first two were more technically accurate from an aviation perspective.
The final episode of the series was Airport '79 - The Concorde, which was the last and widely considered the poorest effort of the series. The cast was high profile but perhaps not as stellar as the previous movies - Robert Wagner, Susan Blakely and Silvia Kristel starred, as well as George Kennedy. The film did less well than the others, and the disaster movie era was winding to a close by this time. In a chilling coincidence, many of the flying sequences in this movie use the Air France Concorde F-BTSC which crashed in Paris in July 2000 killing all on board.
The final death-knell of the entire genre was the release of the first of the spoof series Airplane the following year.

AirPort is a wireless networking protocol from Apple Computer designed for their Macintosh computers. It is based on the IEEE 802.11b (also known as Wi-Fi) standard and has been certified to be compatible with other 802.11b devices. According to Apple, AirPort is capable of speeds up to 11 Megabits per second and distances of 150 feet from the base station. The current version support encryption up to 128 bits.
On January 7th, 2003, Apple Computer introduced AirPort Extreme, based on the 802.11g specification. AirPort Extreme allows data transfer of up to 54 Mbit/s, and is fully backwards-compatible with the thousands of existing 802.11b (AirPort) base stations in coffee shops, retail stores, offices and homes. Because of this, Apple has begun shipping Airport Extreme capabilities into their newest PowerBooks. AirPort Extreme cards unfortunately do not work in an older Macintosh--the Airport bus cannot support the new faster transfer rate. However, an Airport Extreme base station can communicate both with newer 802.11g-based devices and the older 802.11b AirPort cards.
AirPort also describes several products including the AirPort base station and AirPort card. AirPort Extreme features bridging, which allows a single Base Station to link with another AirPort Extreme Base Station in order to increase the signal strength (previously, each base station had to be connected to a hard internet line). A software base station for AirPort and AirPort Extreme also exists, meaning that one can turn a computer with a hard internet connection into a wireless network server as long as it has an AirPort card.
AirPort can be used as a fully-featured LAN and/or to connect to the Internet. There is a modem and Ethernet port on the base station. AirPort Extreme base stations also feature a USB port to connect a printer, meaning that that printer can then be seamlessly used as a network device.
The current version of AirPort (original edition) is 2.1.1.
AirPort is most often used in portable computers such as the iBook and PowerBook, though some people use this technology on stationary computers because they find it easier than running wires throughout their house.

Dublin Airport is Ireland's main airport, and is located to the north of the capital city, Dublin in an area properly known as Collinstown. The airport is a hub of Aer Lingus and has the IATA Airport Code DUB.The United States - Ireland bilateral requires that air carriers operating between the United States and Ireland must provide capacity into Dublin and Shannon International Airport. The rule came from the days when aircraft did not have as long range, and they were forced to stop at Shannon. If the law was nullified, most, if not all of the North American carriers would leave Shannon for the charter flights.

Lambert-Saint Louis International Airport (IATA Airport Code STL) is the primary airport for Saint Louis, Missouri and the surrounding area. In 2002, over 25 million passengers traveled through the airport.It is named after Major Albert Bond Lambert, an aviation pioneer who bought a plane from the Wright brothers and later purchased the airfield which over the years grew into the airport as it is today.
The airport is the starting point for the famous flight that Charles Lindbergh made to Paris in 1927.
Lambert-Saint Louis International Airport was once the hub of Trans World Airlines. That airline was acquired by American Airlines in 2000, and for a while, Lambert became a reliever hub for American's O' Hare International Airport hub. Capacity cutbacks, the latest in effect as of November 2003, have reduced the number of nonstop flights out of St. Louis down to less than 70, resulting in the closure of two concourses in Terminal 1.
Lambert-Saint Louis International Airport has two terminals.

Expansion Plans
Lambert Airport is in the first phase of a major expansion, the largest capital improvement project in St. Louis history. It is expected to be completed in the first part of 2006. The first phase includes:
The $1.1 billion first phase is funded by fees collected from users of the aviation system.
- construction of a nearly two-mile-long third parallel runway;
- the purchase of more than 1500 acres of land and over 1900 residences, primarily in Bridgeton;
- relocating seven major roads;
- building Missouri's first traffic tunnel;
- moving a Missouri Air National Guard facility and several airport support operations; and
- funding the design and construction of a new school in the Pattonville School District.

Health | This condition is known as noise-induced hearing loss. Many construction workers, farmers, musicians, airport workers, tree cutters, and people in the armed forces have hearing problems because of too much exposure to loud noise. (references) | |
If you are a construction worker, an airport worker, or a hunter, or if you are regularly exposed to loud noise at home or at work, wear ear plugs or special earmuffs to protect your hearing and keep your tinnitus from getting worse. (references) | ||
Sounds louder than 85 decibels (dB) can damage your ears. A decibel is a unit that measures the intensity of sound on a scale from zero to 140. A normal conversation is about 60 dB. Chainsaws, hammer drills, and bulldozers ring in at over 100 dB. So if you are a construction worker, harmful sounds may be a regular part of your job. The same goes for people working around lawn mowers and factory machinery every day. Airport workers and farmers are two more groups that are regularly exposed to loud noise. (references) | ||
