air terminals
Where planes land
Air terminals are the buildings and facilities at airports where passengers arrive, depart, and transfer between flights.
The term encompasses check-in areas, security checkpoints, gates, lounges, and baggage claim zones.
In electrical contexts, air terminals are the metal rods or points on lightning protection systems that receive lightning strikes and direct the current safely to ground.
The new air terminal handles international flights exclusively.
