  People are flying around the world easily and frequently thanks to the airline industry. They rarely think beyond what affects their own travel plans. Mostly, they wonder whether their flights will be on time, what kind of food will be served, and if the in-flight movies will be good. However, the countless people working at airports worldwide have a lot more to worry about than that.
  On the planes, flight attendants work hard to provide quality service, while pilots make every effort to ensure everyone's safety. On the ground, airline agents try to process travelers' paperwork as quickly and smoothly as possible. Also,baggage handlers monitor all the baggage to make sure that they get to theirproper destinations. Other airport staff are busy trying to keep everything runningon schedule.
  Operating an airport is no easy task, especially one of the biggest in the world. With nearly 60 million travelers passing through its doors every year, Dubai International Airport knows what a challenge it can be. For a behind-the-sceneslook at this major hub in the Arabian Desert, tune in to National Geographic Channel's Ultimate Airport Dubai.


 

  多虧了航空業,大家現在可以輕易而頻繁地飛遍世界各地。大家很少進一步去想是什麼影響了他們的旅遊計畫。大致上來說,他們想知道班機是否準時、機上供應何種餐點,還有飛機上的電影好不好看。然而,世界上各機場無數個工作人員卻有更多事要擔心。
  飛機上,空服員賣力工作以提供高品質的服務,而機長則盡力確保每一位乘客的安全。在地面,航空公司服務人員盡可能迅速流暢地處理旅客的文件資料。機場行李員也監控著每件行李以確保它們都送達正確的地點。其他的機場人員則忙著讓所有事都能按時程進行。
  管理一座機場並非易事,尤其是其中一座世界上最大的機場。杜拜國際機場每年有將近六千萬的旅客進出機場大門,這對該機場來說會是一項挑戰。想要一窺這個阿拉伯沙漠樞紐不為人知的一面,就鎖定國家地理頻道的《杜拜航站日誌》。
