The number one New York Times best-selling thriller about an airport thrust into chaos by a whiteout blizzard: «A spellbinder» (The Denver Post).

From traffic control to Customs hall, from the airport manager`s office to lay-over apartments in `Stewardesses` Row` the rooms are filled with men and women whose private pressures and passions match the fury of the blizzard that sweeps across the runways outside… For seven hours of suspense, a blocked runway, suicide, pickets, an aerial stowaway, pregnancy, smuggling, mass demonstrations, and a psychotic with his home-made bomb build to a nail-biting climax...

As a raging blizzard wreaks havoc at Lincoln International Airport outside Chicago, airport and airline personnel try to cope with this unstoppable force of nature that is endangering thousands of lives. And in the air, a lone plane struggles to reach its destination. Over the course of seven pulse-pounding hours, a tense human drama plays out as a brilliant airport manager, an arrogant pilot, a tough maintenance man, and a beautiful stewardess strive to avert disaster.

Featuring a diverse cast of vibrant characters, Airport is both a realistic depiction of the airline industry and a novel of nail-biting suspense.


Arthur Hailey is without doubt the finest storyteller of the 2nd half of the twentieth century. Airport was about how a airport worked and stories and plots about the people who worked there and used the airport. This novel had up to 4 stories going on at once but all join up at the end. Which ever Arthur Hailey book you read they are impossible to put down. Whatever the subject be it Newspaper publishing running a hotel or power distribution he does massive research on the subject. I really enjoyed this book and the Characters in it.
This is definitely a VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED novel!
