Questions about how airports handle the transport of aircraft and passengers through and around them, and how this might be impacted by things external or internal to the airport itself.

Airport operations is the discipline of how aircraft and passengers are routed into, through, out of, around, etc., airports. It covers how pilots know where to take off and land from without running into other aircraft, what restrictions might be placed on particular types of operations from a particular airport or runway thereof due to noise restrictions, surrounding terrain, etc, how the controllers keep everything from becoming utterly clogged up all the time, and a great deal more besides.
