Fly me to the moon (Part III)
This is the final article in a series on the aviation world and how it relates to the hospitality industry. Here, the focus is on airports. I hope you enjoyed the trilogy 😊!
Airport Names
Most airport names include their location and many honor a public figure like a politician (e.g., George Bush Intercontinental Airport), a monarch (e.g., King Shaka International Airport), a cultural leader (e.g., Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport) or a prominent figure in aviation history of the region (e.g., Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport), sometimes explorers (e.g., Venice Marco Polo Airport).
Airport Codes
Ever wondered what the three-letter code on your luggage tag or airline ticket stand for? This code is used by air traffic controllers and airline logistics personnel to develop and track flight plans. It is also associated with radio call signs to aeronautical navigation aids.
