##### Airport Apron The airport apron, apron, flight line, ramp, or tarmac is the area of an airport where aircraft are parked, unloaded or loaded, refueled, boarded, or maintained. Although the use of the apron is covered by regulations, such as lighting on vehicles, it is typically more accessible to users than the [[runway]] or [[taxiway]]. However, the apron is not usually open to the general public, and a permit may be required to gain access. An apron's designated areas for aircraft parking are called aircraft stands. >Covered in: >Mentioned in: >References: [[WP Airport Apron|🌍]] >Required by: > >Related to:
