From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. 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. An airport consists of at least one surface such as a runway, a helipad, or water for takeoffs and landings, and can often includes buildings such as hangars and terminal buildings. Larger airports may have fixed base operator services, seaplane docks and ramps, air traffic control, passenger facilities such as restaurants and lounges, and emergency services. A military airport is known as an airbase or air station. The terms airfield, airstrip, and aerodrome may also be used to refer to airports, and the terms heliport, seaplane base, and STOLport refer to airports dedicated exclusively to helicopters, seaplanes, or short takeoff and landing aircraft. In some jurisdictions, the term airport is used where the facility is licensed as such by the relevant government organization (e.g. the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Transport Canada). Elsewhere the distinction is merely one of general appearance. Yet other areas define an airport by its having the necessary customs offices etc expected of a port, though the more general term is airport of entry. From Wikipedia under the

I need a bit of help. I need an airport that can give me a round trip from California in the United States to Rwanda in Africa. I've googled a lot of airlines and airports and flight plans. But, I can't seem to find an airport that can take me from Cali to Rwanda. :/ Any help is appreciated. Thanks. Asked by jah_wish - Tue Dec 2 22:05:26 2008 - - 1 Answers - 1 Comments A. Currently there are no straight flights from California to Rwanda.. You will need to have connected flights.. When I travel to Sub-Saharan Africa I leave from LAX Airport and I fly into Heathrow Airport (in London) OR I fly into Schipol Airport in Holland Which ever has a flight to my destination at the time. And then I fly to the country in Africa I am going to. So you'll have to take 2 planes to get to Rwanda.. And the trip is about 30 hours or so from CA to Rwanda.. Depending on how long your layover is... Answered by Stephanie - Wed Dec 3 23:29:59 2008 What south-east France airports can I fly to from Cork or Shannan in Ireland? Q. I am looking to go on holidays in France in July or August and am very interested in the south-east area. I cannot find many airports in South-east France that Irish planes fly to. I would not mind if the airports were in France or Italy as long as they were near enough to France. I am also not interested in flying to England and then flying to France. I would like to fly from Shannon or Cork.. Any help would be greatly appreciated..Thanks! Asked by Horses4Life100%!!! - Thu Jun 18 10:26:02 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. The only flight available to South East France would be from Cork to Nice with Aer Lingus. This is available on Tuesday, Thursday & Saturday, leaving from Cork Airport at 0640hrs. The furthest southerly destination available from Shannon Airport is to Carcassonne, with Ryanair, and again these flights are on Tuesday, Thursday & Saturday. But Carcassonne is more to the South West. Answered by Pompal '09. - Thu Jun 18 11:16:52 2009 If a random sample of 10 airports is surveyed what kind of sample is this?
Q. A random sample of 10 airports is surveyed by sending trained interviewers to solicit reactions about air safety from passengers disembarking from arriving planes. I would like to know what kind of sampling this would be. For example, cluster sampling or stratified sampling. Asked by amood - Sun Feb 15 16:08:39 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. this is cluster sampling. in stratified sampling, each stratum is unique in some sort of demographic or characteristic feature, which means you need to draw a sample from each stratum. the airport sampling is a classic example of cluster sampling in which the airports are different from each other, but they are chosen at random.
