An airport is a place where aircraft can land and take-off usually equipped with hangars, facilities for refueling and repair, accommodations for passengers and others, according to Webster's dictionary. The very nature of an airport's complexity makes it necessary to isolate its segments for design purposes. It is composed of various facilities like the airfield ground lighting stem. navigational aids, communications equipment, meteorological equipment, emergency services equipment and others. It is therefore necessary to consider these important elements for adequate planning of an international airport.
