AIRPORTS
An airport is an aerodrome with extended facilities, mostly for commercial air
transport. Airports often have facilities to store and maintain aircraft, and a control
tower. An airport consist of landing area, which comprises an aerially accessible
open space including at least one operationally active surface such as a runway for a
plane to take off or a helipad and often includes adjacent utility buildings such as
control towers, hangars and terminal.

Large airports may have fixed base operator services, airport aprons, taxiway
bridges, air traffic control centers, passenger facilities such as restaurants and
lounges and emergency services.
HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT
The worlds oldest airport was established in 1909 by
Wilbur Wright – COLLEGE PARK AIRPORT in MARYLAND
which is generally agreed to be the world's oldest
continually operating airfield, although it serves only
general aviation traffic. COLLEGE PARK AIRPORT in MARYLAND

BISBEE-DOUGLAS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT in ARIZONA

was declared as the first international airport of the
Americas by US President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1943.

PEARSON FIELD AIRPORT in VANCOUVER, WASHINGTON,

had a dirigible land in 1905 and planes in 1911 and is still
in use. BISBEE-DOUGLAS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT in ARIZONA

HAMBURG AIRPORT opened in January 1911, making
it the oldest commercial airport in the world which is
still in operation.

BREMEN AIRPORT opened in 1913 and remains in

use, although it served as an American military field
between 1945 and 1949.

AMSTERDAM AIRPORT SCHIPHOL opened on HAMBURG AIRPORT

September 16, 1916, as a military airfield, but only

accepted civil aircraft from December 17, 1920,
allowing Sydney Airport in Sydney, Australia—which
started operations in January 1920—to claim to be
one of the world's oldest continually operating
commercial airports.
BREMEN AIRPORT AMSTERDAM AIRPORT
MINNEAPOLIS-SAINT PAUL INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT SCHIPHOL

in Minneapolis-Saint Paul, Minnesota, opened in 1920

and has been in continuous commercial service since.
It serves about 35,000,000 passengers each year and
continues to expand, recently opening a new 11,000
foot (3,355 meter) runway.

MINNEAPOLIS-SAINT PAUL INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

Of the airports constructed during this early period in
aviation, it is one of the largest and busiest that is still
currently operating.

Increased aircraft traffic during World War I led to the

construction of landing fields.

Aircraft had to approach these from certain directions and

this led to the development of aids for directing the
approach and landing slope.
Following the war, some of these military
airfields added civil facilities for handling
passenger traffic.
One of the earliest such fields was PARIS – LE
BOURGET AIRPORT at Le Bourget, near Paris.
The first airport to operate scheduled
international commercial services
was HOUNSLOW HEALTH AERODROME in
August 1919, but it was closed and supplanted
by CROYDON AIRPORT in March 1920. PARIS – LE BOURGET AIRPORT

In 1922, the first permanent airport and

commercial terminal solely for commercial
aviation was opened at Flughafen Devau near
what was then Königsberg, East Prussia.

The airports of this era used a paved "apron“,

which permitted night flying as well as landing
heavier aircraft.

CROYDON AIRPORT
Airport construction boomed during the
1960s with the increase in jet aircraft traffic.
Runways were extended out to 3,000 m
(9,800 ft). The fields were constructed out
of reinforced concrete using a slip-form
machine that produces a continual slab with
no disruptions along the length. The early
1960s also saw the introduction of jet bridge
systems to modern airport terminals, an
innovation which eliminated outdoor
passenger boarding. These systems became
commonplace in the United States by the
1970s.
MAIN FUNCTIONS OF AIRPORT
TERMINAL
• To provide a convenient facility from
ground transport to air transport and
vice versa.

• Airport terminal is a complex system. It

has 3 types
1. Domestic airport
2. International airport
3. Regional airport

If the airport terminal comprises of

both domestic and international
flights then it is said to be an
Integrated airport
INDIA’S FIRST AIRPORT IN 1928

Mumbai-Juhu Airport is located

in Juhu, an upmarket
residential suburb of Mumbai, India.
It is used by small General
Aviation aircraft and
helicopters. Founded in 1928 as
India's first civil aviation airport, Juhu
served as the city's primary airport
during and up to World War II. In
1948, commercial operations were
moved to the much larger RAF
Santacruz which was built 2 km east
of Juhu aerodrome during the war. In
1932, JRD Tata landed at the Juhu
aerodrome, inaugurating India's first
scheduled commercial mail service.

AVIATION CENTER
Aviation, or air transport, refers to the activities
surrounding mechanical flight and
the aircraft industry. Aircraft includes fixed-
wing and rotary-wing types, morphable wings, wing-less
lifting bodies, as well as lighter-than-air craft such
as balloons and airships.

Aviation began in the 18th century with the development

of the hot air balloon, an apparatus capable of
atmospheric displacement through buoyancy.

Some of the most significant advancements in aviation

technology came with the controlled gliding flying of Otto
Lilienthal in 1896; then a large step in significance came
with the construction of the first powered airplane by
the Wright brothers in the early 1900s.

Since that time, aviation has been technologically

revolutionized by the introduction of the jet which
permitted a major form of transport throughout the
world.
WHAT IS AIR TRAVEL???
Air travel is a form of travel in vehicles such as helicopters, hot air
balloons, blimps, gliders, hang gliding, parachuting, airplanes, jets, or anything else that can
sustain flight. Use of air travel has greatly increased in recent decades - worldwide it
doubled between the mid-1980s and the year 2000.

Air travel can be separated into two general

classifications: national/domestic and internatio
nal flights. Flights from one point to another
within the same country are called domestic
flights. Flights from a point in one country to a
point within a different country are known as
international flights. Travelers can use domestic
or international flights in either private or public
travel.
HISTORY AND GROWTH OF AIR
TRANSPORT IN INDIA
• In Asia, India was the first country to
introduce AIR SERVICES in 1914
• However, Air Services progressed only after
the Second World War.
• Nearly 10 Air companies were working on
the eve of Independence.
INDIA DURING 1944

A U.S. Army Air Forces maintenance personnel in India removing a damaged Wright R-
3350-23 Duplex-Cyclone engine from a Boeing B-29 Superfortress. They took off any
undamaged parts and reused them on the replacement engine (c. 1944–1945).
The late 1940s and early 1950s were the ‘golden era’ of aviation. In commercial flight,
airlines were developing a new inventory roughly every seven years, leading to rapid
technological advancement and the creation of such legendary planes as the Caravelle,
Comet, DC-8 and Boeing 707. In parallel the Space Race kicked off with the orbiting of the
first satellite, Sputnik 1.

After the incredible achievements of the 1960s, this was a decade of quieter
accomplishments and consolidation of newfound knowledge and consortiums. The
foundation of Airbus was a bold move to challenge American dominance of civil
aviation. The 1970s also saw the start of regular flights with Concorde, several pan-
European defence collaborations and the first Ariane launcher.

While aviation was making the world more accessible and the concept of the 'global
village' was born, the Space Shuttle was introduced and satellites revolutionized our
view of the Earth and realms beyond. The arrival of the Airbus A320 and its fly-by-wire
technology meant that flight became much more reliant on a plane’s computer.
A new millennium saw a planet both more connected, via the internet, and
disconnected after the September 11 attacks. Homeland security became a priority
for many countries, reflected in new technology and information systems-led
developments, such as unmanned aircraft. Meanwhile, environmental concerns led
to passenger aircraft with greater fuel efficiency like the iconic A380.

Through an increasingly turbulent decade – with the Arab Spring and Winter
and European migrant crisis – both homeland and cyber security remain
priorities. While digital technologies have changed aerospace development,
new-generation aircraft like the A320neo and A350 XWB have arrived, and the
Rosetta comet mission has allowed us to again gaze to the skies in wonder.
