• Sommario/riassunto: An airport is a location where aircraft such as aeroplanes, helicopters, and blimps take off and land. Aircraft may also be stored or maintained at an airport. This book brings together important research related to airports. It covers strategic planning, occupational exposure in airport personnel, and much more.
