airport

airport
A field with improvements for the taking off and landing of aircraft, the loading and unloading of passengers and cargo, and the accomodation of airlines and their personnel. The maintenance of airports comes legitimately within the scope of a municipal power in much the same manner as docks and harbor facilities for marine shipping. Municipalities are studying local conditions and commercial organizations are ever pressing the importance of establishing or improving terminal airports and of providing proper fighting for landing fields and facilities such as hangars, garages, and repair shops. Wichita v Clapp, 125 Kan 100, 263 P 12, 15. See federal airports.
