Aerodrome

An aerodrome is a location where aircraft take off, land, and are serviced. It includes runways, taxiways, and often facilities for passengers and cargo, such as terminals and hangars. Aerodromes can vary in size, from large international airports to smaller regional airfields. They are designed to accommodate the needs of various types of aircraft, and may also provide essential services like fuel and maintenance. The term encompasses both airports and smaller airstrips, serving as vital points in the aviation network for travel and transportation.
