A runway in the travel context refers to a defined, level area on an airport's grounds that is specifically designed for aircraft to land on and take off from. Typically made of asphalt or concrete, runways must meet rigorous construction and maintenance standards to ensure the safety and efficiency of air travel. The dimensions of a runway, including its length and width, are determined based on the types and sizes of aircraft that use it, with larger airports accommodating wide-body international flights requiring longer runways.
