Every minute of every day, airports across the world
are welcoming and seeing off passengers. A record
3.7 billion people safely took to the skies in 2016,
with demand predicted to double over the next 20 years.
Driven by growing demand from the Asian-Pacific,
Middle Eastern, and African markets, there are now
globally more than 100,000 f lights on any given day.
We looked at everyday life in three airports in three
different continents.
