An airport is a civil, private or military facility for aircraft to take off, land, and often be stored and maintained, minimally comprising a runway or other take-off and landing space, but often much larger and including aircraft hangars, air traffic control towers and terminal buildings. Civil airports often provide access to towns, cities and remote areas, and provide services such as restaurants and lounges while passengers await their flights. The world's busiest airport is Atlanta International, followed by Beijing International and London Heathrow.
