lennuväljaku

Lennuväljak is an Estonian term that translates to "airport" or "airfield" in English. It refers to a designated area of land or water specifically equipped for the operation of aircraft, including landing and taking off. These facilities can vary greatly in size and complexity, from small, private airstrips to large international airports with extensive infrastructure.

The primary purpose of a lennuväljak is to facilitate air travel and transport. This involves providing runways for aircraft, taxiways for movement on the ground, aprons for parking and servicing aircraft, and terminals for passengers and cargo. Modern lennuväljakud often include control towers to manage air traffic, navigation aids, and emergency services.

The development and maintenance of a lennuväljak are crucial for a country's transportation network, economic activity, and national defense. They serve as hubs for commercial airlines, cargo operations, general aviation, and sometimes military purposes. The specific features and capabilities of a lennuväljak are determined by the types and volume of air traffic it is designed to accommodate.
