International airports handle millions of passengers and thousands of flights very year. But most travellers never see the people who work night and day to make their flights as smooth and safe as possible. This book reveals the inner workings of a typical modern airport. A fold-out section allows readers to see the main terminal building in detail, inside and out. The book then goes on to describe the airfield and other key places in an airport, and shows what takes place during down time, why a pilot parks on an apron and what happens when you go airside.
