The impact of airports extends beyond their perimeters. In addition to the noise associated with approaching and departing aircraft, airports generate large volumes of terrestial traffic, requiring access routes and parking.

Major airports may also attract other land-users, such as hotels and offices. Extensions to runways may involve changes in the alignment of road or rail routes.
