World's busiest airports by passenger traffic

man to travel, the number of flights increased dramatically. Consequently, the expansion of airports was placed in the top of the to-do-lists of governments all around the world. As a case in point, picture 1 portrays Sidney airport in Australia. This airport has gone through a lot of transformations since 1947 until 2000. As it is apparent in this photo, nowadays, the expansion of airports has placed these complexes in a very close proximity to residential areas. This issue further reveals the importance of studying aircraft noise pollution. Picture 2, also, is showing the same idea about airports being right next to residential areas. By the same token, Frankfurt airport, which is considered to be one of the most internationally important European airports in the world, had 468000 flights (10 percent of those taken place during the night) in 2008, during which it has managed to transport more than 53 million passengers and two million tons of cargo. It has been anticipated that, by 2020, the number of flights taken in place in this airport would increase to 701000 flights, which would be equivalent to 120 flights per hour.[1] Therefore, numerous researches have been conducted in terms of the effects that the noise produced by these airplanes can have, which I will mention one of them. The purpose of this essay is to assess the reaction of those residents who live around airports to the noise that airplanes produce in their flight, and to analyze its impacts on an…

Emirates was started in 1985 with two aircrafts leased from Pakistan International Airport and start-up capital of $10 million.

Last December record amounts of snow and cold temperatures hit the U.S. and most part of Europe, which led to chaos in the whole travel industry (Jainchill, 2011). Many flights all over the world were cancelled and some of the airports were shut due to the adverse weather conditions.

My family was waiting for 3 mins in a line about 20 mins long when a TSA Security…

These charges help to offset the cost of operating the airport and the costs associated with Peterson Air Force Base. Peterson Air Force Base cannot be charged similar expenses, because government cannot charge government. In more technical terms, the charges must be in kind services. Peterson Air Force Base…
