landings
Where flights end
Landings is the plural of landing, which names the act of coming to rest after flight or travel.
Aircraft make landings; so do spacecraft, boats, and troops storming beaches.
A landing is also a level area at the top or bottom of stairs, or between flights: She paused on the landing to catch her breath.
Fish landings are catches brought to shore.
