More About airports
Airports have been around for a long time. The first airport was made over a hundred years ago. It was small and had just one runway. Now, airports are big and have many planes.
Airports help us travel to see family and friends. We can go to new places and learn new things. They make it easy to go far away.
In the future, airports may have flying cars! That would be cool. We might see more robots helping people too.
