Here at OGG airport here on Maui. There are a lot of people here and a bit of chaos as everyone tries to get a slot on the next available flight off island. Overall the airport staff here is doing a phenomenal job given the circumstances. Big mahalos to our Maui people continuing to show Aloha and grace to all of the visitors trying to leave. It is hard to be polite and patient when you may no longer have a family home to go back to or have ohana missing in action.
At #HongKong#airport#HKG, I saw that many groups of people, be it family or friends, take #selfies in front of the boarding gate to mark the start of their vacations. To be frank, it does surprise me that so many people still do that. I suppose such seemingly-naïve behaviour is what is called “#sense of #ritual”, which is admirable.
The Ministry of Transport (#MOT) intends to make the Swettenham Pier Cruise Terminal (#SPCT) as the home port for the #cruise industry in an effort to bring more tourists to #Penang.
Under the MOT, the plan is to implement #Fly & Cruise in Penang where SPCT will be used as a #homeport while the Penang International #Airport (#PIA) will be upgraded to allow more tourists to visit the state.
Malaysia Airports' Airport Fire Rescue Services team as well as Fire and Rescue Department of Malaysia attended to and put out a small #fire that occurred at the main terminal building of Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) Terminal 1.
The fire caused some smoke that is visible at Level 3 and Level 5 of Terminal 1.
Flights and #airport services have not been interrupted by the #incident. Please follow the instructions of #KLIA airport staff to get to the departure gates.
Me, posting:
Uses the #YEG hashtag everywhere as if we still lived in a 140-character world where the extra five characters in #Edmonton are a luxury we cannot afford.
Me, reading posts from people in other prairie cities who have adopted the same system:
Uhhhh... is #YXE Saskatoon? Regina? Why do these people expect everyone to know their obscure airport codes???
The departures board at Frankfurt airport includes high-speed trains as well.
Everything marked as terminal T is a train departure from the train station that is directly connected to the airport. They have Lufthansa flight numbers too!
I usually get gummy candies, download way more podcasts than I need, and do craft projects in the corner until they call me flight :blobfoxcrylaugh: #travel
Posted by #Palermo#airport in #Sicily#Italy last night: "Aeroporto chiuso fino alle 8 di oggi. Un incendio sviluppatosi sopra Cinisi a causa del vento di Scirocco è arrivato fino al perimetro dello scalo aereo. " #aeroporto#closed#wildfire
A fire broke out early Tuesday on the Italian island of Sicily near Palermo's airport, forcing it to temporarily shut down.
The blaze reached the edge of the Falcone Borsellino Airport, forcing authorities to halt all air traffic until 11:00. Pictures from the scene show soaring flames near the airport perimeter.
Sicily has faced scorching temperatures, amid a powerful heat wave that has impacted much of Southern Europe.
Dr Alex Chapman (New Economics Foundation) on the spurious claims that #airport expansion contributed to #economic development:
'The reality is declining business air travel, declining wages for air travel workers, declining job numbers & declining domestic tourism spending in the UK. And that’s before you consider the rise in noise, air pollution and dangerous emissions'.
We need to stop believing the self-serving claims that more flying is a good thing for the UK!
Beautiful light after a heavy rainshower at Inuvik airport, some relief after the relentless heat. The orange light in the back is caused by wildfire smoke blown to the north. That day several heat records were broken in NW Canada, for example Norman Wells. #inuvik#canada#weather#photography#airport#aviation#clouds#rain
