ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An airport complex comprising a main multi-level passenger terminal having peripheral gates for the enplaning and deplaning of passengers and cargo. A cargo building which is disposed in close proximity to the passenger terminal greatly shortens the time factor which usually is involved in transporting cargo to and from the passenger terminal. The airport complex is designed principally to accommodate ultra large aircraft of the jet- propelled type and novel facilities are provided for routing enplaning cargo on a priority basis from an arriving jet to a departing jet through cargo-handling facilities which are disposed within the passenger terminal, and also for routing enplaning cargo from the cargo building to a departing jet through the passenger terminal, likewise on a priority basis. Novel facilities are also provided for routing deplaning cargo from an arriving jet to the cargo building for various subsequent distribution, as, for example, inspection at a customs station, a sorting station, and breakdown to a flight departure as enplaning cargo via the passenger terminal, or as terminating cargo for remote delivery in the environs of the airport complex. A principal feature of such complex resides in the use of a towline cargo- handling system which cooperates with a series of power-driven cargo conveyors which, in turn, cooperate selectively with elevator mechanisms whereby both enplaning and deplaning cargo may be routed variously, the entire system being computerized for programmed control thereof. Provision is also made for the handling of baggage, mail, freight, and other items.
