Airport location where aircraft take off and land

An airport is an aerodrome with extended facilities, mostly for commercial air transport. Airports often have facilities to store and maintain aircraft, and a control tower. An airport consists of a landing area, which comprises an aerially accessible open space including at least one operationally active surface such as a runway for a plane to take off or a helipad, and often includes adjacent utility buildings such as control towers, hangars and terminals. Larger airports may have airport aprons, taxiway bridges, air traffic control centres, passenger facilities such as restaurants and lounges, and emergency services. In some countries, the US in particular, they also typically have one or more fixed-base operators, serving general aviation.

Originally titled "Angola Airways," Angola Airport was constructed sometime between 1967 and 1971. The airport had a succession of owners. In 2002, the owner declared bankruptcy, and the Town of Evans chose not to purchase the property. With no buyer, the airport closed. As of 2010, the airport site has not been redeveloped and the airfield infrastructure remains. [1]
