Lentokenttäalueet

Lentokenttäalueet refer to the designated land areas where airports are located. These areas encompass not only the operational parts of the airport such as runways, taxiways, and terminals, but also surrounding land used for safety, noise mitigation, and future expansion. The size and scope of a lentokenttäalue can vary significantly, from small regional airfields to massive international airport complexes.

Within a lentokenttäalue, specific zones are established for different functions. The airside zone is where aircraft operate, including runways for takeoff and landing, taxiways for ground movement, and aprons for parking and servicing aircraft. The landside zone is accessible to passengers and includes terminals, baggage handling facilities, car parks, and access roads. Additionally, buffer zones are often incorporated to minimize the impact of noise and other environmental factors on nearby communities.

The development and management of lentokenttäalueet are complex undertakings, involving significant infrastructure development, air traffic control systems, and security measures. Planning for these areas must consider factors such as airspace capacity, environmental regulations, and economic development. The expansion and modernization of lentokenttäalueet are ongoing processes driven by increasing air traffic demand and technological advancements.
