Content
From the check-in machine and the full-body scanner to the travelator that makes you get there faster: This book shows and explains everything you will find at a modern airport.At big airports, planes take off and land every minute. Many people and specialised vehicles help planes get ready for take-off again. The book shows the path our luggage takes to get to the plane as well as how passengers get on board by bus or via the boarding bridge. Once on board, the flight attendants take care of them.
Children learn why planes fly, how the pilots steer the plane and what a cockpit looks like.
On the ground, people like the tower controllers, the airport fire brigade and even forest rangers make sure that flight operations go safely and smoothly. On top of that, the book presents a number of other flying devices.
However, travelling by air also affects the environment. This volume shows how new technology could help make flying more environmentally friendly.
Checked by experts, this companion prepares children for their first or next flight – and allows them to think back to a previous journey. No question children may have remains unanswered.
