Lennuväljast

Lennuväljast refers to an airfield or airport in Estonian. It is a dedicated area of land and associated buildings that are used for aircraft to take off and land. Lennuväljad can vary significantly in size and complexity, from small, privately owned airstrips to large international airports serving millions of passengers annually.

The primary functions of a lennuväli include providing a safe and controlled environment for air traffic. This involves designated runways for aircraft movement, taxiways for ground navigation, and aprons for parking aircraft. Additionally, lennuväljad typically house terminals for passenger services, control towers to manage air traffic, hangars for aircraft maintenance and storage, and various support facilities. The presence of navigational aids and lighting systems is crucial for safe operations, especially during low visibility conditions or at night.

Lennuväljad play a vital role in transportation, commerce, and defense. They facilitate travel for both leisure and business, enabling the movement of people and goods across vast distances. For military purposes, lennuväljad serve as strategic bases for aircraft operations. The development and maintenance of lennuväljad are often significant undertakings, requiring substantial investment in infrastructure and technology to ensure efficiency, safety, and environmental compliance.
