He met tourists from all over the place and spoke with all people from luggage handlers to pilots to the airport chaplain.

Lavishly illustrated in colour via well known photographer Richard Baker, every week on the Airport unearths the airport in all its turbulence and soullessness and--yes--even beauty.
