An
airport is a location where aircraft such as fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, and blimps take off and land. Aircraft may 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 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 one of general appearance.
