P\u00e5 min mammas arbetsplats finns det ocks\u00e5 en freecycle med b\u00f6cker – bra grej d\u00e4r! Hon kom hem f\u00f6r n\u00e5gra veckor sedan med den h\u00e4r boken, Flygplatsen av Arthur Hailey<\/strong> fr\u00e5n 1968. Detta \u00e4r en riktig stors\u00e4ljare, \u00e5tminstone f\u00f6r sin tid, och skildrar livet p\u00e5 en flygplats under en kv\u00e4ll.<\/p>\n

Denna kv\u00e4ll \u00e4r det v\u00e5ldsam sn\u00f6storm, banorna sn\u00f6r\u00f6js och sn\u00f6r\u00f6js igen men stora f\u00f6rseningar f\u00f6religger \u00e4nd\u00e5. L\u00e4get f\u00f6rv\u00e4rras av att ett flygplan k\u00f6rt fast p\u00e5 taxibanan och hindrar trafiken till den l\u00e4ngsta banan. Detta orsakar bullerst\u00f6rningar \u00f6ver ett bostadsomr\u00e5de n\u00e4ra flygplatsen eftersom de blev tvungna att anv\u00e4nda banor n\u00e4rmare husen. Detta leder till ett samlingsm\u00f6te f\u00f6r att protestera p\u00e5 flygplatsen f\u00f6r att kr\u00e4va en st\u00e4ngning av flygplatsen. Man f\u00e5r ocks\u00e5 f\u00f6lja en desperat man som f\u00f6rlorat allt och d\u00e4rf\u00f6r planerar att spr\u00e4nga flygplanet \u00f6ver Atlanten f\u00f6r att l\u00e5ta sin fru f\u00e5 f\u00f6rs\u00e4kringspengarna.<\/p>\n

Nu ska man ju komma ih\u00e5g att denna bok \u00e4r fr\u00e5n 1968, uppenbarligen fanns inte samma s\u00e4kerhetskontroller som idag med rigor\u00f6s s\u00e4kerhetsgenomg\u00e5ng av allt bagage. Allt som fanns var tull, men endast p\u00e5 inkommande trafik till landet. Dessutom s\u00e5ldes flygf\u00f6rs\u00e4kringar p\u00e5 sj\u00e4lva flygplatsen, d\u00e4r ingen kontroll av f\u00f6rs\u00e4kringstagaren g\u00f6rs. Det m\u00e5ste ju ha bjudit in till s\u00e5na handlingar p\u00e5 den tiden.<\/p>\n

N\u00e5, trots alla dessa konstiga saker – s\u00e5nt vi tycker idag allts\u00e5 – \u00e4r det h\u00e4r en verkligt sp\u00e4nnande bok! Det \u00e4r en ganska komprimerad tid den innefattar och mycket hinner h\u00e4nda p\u00e5 en flygplats d\u00e5. Speciellt vid en kaosartad sn\u00f6storm. Jag tycker karakt\u00e4rerna \u00e4r bra beskrivna men kanske lite stereotypiska. Som den desperata bombmannen som beskrivs som sjaskig och h\u00e4rjad – \u00e4nd\u00e5 \u00e4r det ingen som fattar misstankar?<\/p>\n

N\u00e5ja, har du denna kan du ju l\u00e4sa den. Den \u00e4r sp\u00e4nnande! Missa inte heller att den finns som film fr\u00e5n 1970, med Burt Lancaster i en av huvudrollerna!<\/a><\/p>\n

Betyg:<\/strong> 3 av 5 | Genre:<\/strong> Sk\u00f6nlitteratur<\/p>\n

The story takes place at Lincoln International, a fictional Chicago airport based very loosely on O’Hare International Airport.<\/p>\n

The action mainly centers on Mel Bakersfeld, the Airport General Manager. His devotion to his job is tearing apart his family and his marriage to his wife Cindy, who resents his use of his job at the airport as a device to avoid going to various after-hours events she wants him to participate in, as she attempts to climb into the social circles of Chicago’s elite. His problems in his marriage are further exacerbated by his romantically-charged friendship with a lovely divorcee, Trans America Airlines passenger relations manager Tanya Livingston.<\/p>\n

The story takes place mainly over the course of one evening and night, as a massive snowstorm plays havoc with airport operations. The storyline centers on Bakersfeld’s struggles to keep the airport open during the storm. His chief problem is the unexpected closure of primary Runway three zero, caused when a landing airliner turns off past the wrong side of a runway marker light, burying the plane’s landing gear in the snow, and blocking the runway. This becomes a major problem as another airplane, Trans America Flight Two, experiences an midair emergency and returns to Lincoln. This requires that the runway become quickly available.<\/p>\n

The closing of runway three zero requires the use of shorter runway 25, which has the unfortunate consequence of causing planes to take off over a noise-sensitive suburb, whose residents picket the airport in protest.<\/p>\n

The book presents an overview of the vast and complex operations involved in operating a major commercial airport, much of which is still applicable over 40 years later. Several major and minor characters appear, illustrating the vast complexity of the airport and its operations. They include Customs officers, lawyers, snow clearers, airport police, doctors, clerks etc.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
