ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides an airport and a method of operating an airport in which, when an aircraft lands on a runway of the airport, the aircraft drives onto or otherwise boards a vehicle and is transported on the vehicle to a disembarking/embarking site. Here, inbound passengers leave the vehicle and proceed to a terminal building. In addition, outbound passengers board the vehicle, which then transports the aircraft to the runway from where it takes off. Various activities take place whilst the aircraft is on the vehicle. Thus, passengers embark/disembark the vehicle, pass through immigration and check-in areas and their baggage is unloaded/loaded. In addition, the aircraft is serviced whilst on the vehicle.
