airport zoning

Airport zoning refers to the designated areas within and around an airport that are regulated to ensure safe and efficient operations. These zones typically include the runway and taxiway areas for aircraft movement, as well as surrounding safety zones to protect people and property from hazards such as jet blasts or aircraft accidents. Zoning helps manage land use, control building heights, and establish safety buffers, preventing developments that could interfere with aircraft operations or pose risks. Proper zoning ensures the airport functions smoothly while safeguarding public safety and nearby communities.
