Airports are locations where aircraft such as fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, and blimps can take off and land. All aircraft are stored or maintained at our airports. Airports consist of surfaces such as a runway for planes to take off and land, a helipad, or water for take-offs and landings, and include buildings such as control towers, hangars and terminal buildings. Our larger airports have fixed base operator services, seaplane docks and ramps, air traffic control, passenger facilities such as restaurants and lounges, and emergency services.

Most of our major airports provide commercial outlets for products and services. These include clothing boutiques and restaurants. Some of our airport structures include on-site hotels built within or attached to a terminal building. Our airport hotels have grown popular due to their convenience for transient passengers with easy accessibility to the airport terminal. Many of our airport hotels also have agreements with the airlines to provide overnight lodging for displaced passengers.

The premium and VIP services include express check-in, dedicated check-in counters, separate departures and/or an arrivals lounge, priority boarding, separate air bridges, and priority baggage handling. These services are usually reserved for First and Business class passengers, premium frequent flyers, and members of the airline's clubs. The airline lounges frequently offer free or reduced cost food, as well as alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. The lounges themselves typically have seating, showers, quiet areas, televisions, computers, Wi-Fi, internet access, and power outlets that passengers may use for their electronic equipment. Some of our airline lounges employ barristers, bartenders and gourmet chefs. Airlines also operate multiple lounges within the one airport terminal allowing ultra-premium customers, such as first class customers, additional services, which are not available to other premium customers. Multiple lounges also prevent overcrowding of the lounge facilities.
