Explanation
An airport is a large area where airplanes take off, land, and are kept. It has runways (long strips for planes to fly and land), terminals (buildings for passengers), and areas for luggage, food, and waiting. People go to airports when they are traveling by plane to another city or country. Security checks, ticket counters, and gates are all part of an airport. It is usually busy, especially during holidays or business travel. Many big cities have international airports where people can fly to and from countries around the world.
