About this listen

The number one New York Times best-selling thriller about an airport thrust into chaos by a whiteout blizzard: "A spellbinder" (The Denver Post).

As a raging blizzard wreaks havoc at Lincoln International Airport outside Chicago, airport and airline personnel try to cope with this unstoppable force of nature that is endangering thousands of lives. And in the air, a lone plane struggles to reach its destination. Over the course of seven pulse-pounding hours, a tense human drama plays out as a brilliant airport manager, an arrogant pilot, a tough maintenance man, and a beautiful stewardess strive to avert disaster.

Featuring a diverse cast of vibrant characters, Airport is both a realistic depiction of the airline industry and a novel of nail-biting suspense.

Great story, makes you feel like you are there

Being in aviation, it's hard to find a book that involves aviation knowledge and terms. Including the characters that makes the story come alive. recommend for someone that is interested in aviation.

Once again!

The book was way better than the movie, in character development and story depth. I highly recommend this one!

Wonderful author and story!

Hailey not only crafts an intricate and suspenseful story, he takes you into the inner workings of whatever institution he's writing about (e.g.airport). Though most of his books are dated, you still receive a detailed understanding of the parts that make the institution flourish.

I have loved these stories since they were written and am delighted that Audible is making them available! Please continue to bring these older gems to a new audience.

Loved the book. Glad it is finally on Audible.

Loved this book when it first came out. Loved the movie. And, loved the Audible book. Have read all of the Arthur Hailey books and hope all of them eventually are added to Audible.

It's Arthur Hailey

i wasn't crazy about the narrator. The story was very 60-70's. Less great literature & more historical (now) fiction & view of what wethought flight would be. I wonder how many of those 707s are still flying around. The people wondering if boomers accomplished anything will be interested in the casual civil rights outrages. Not as dramatic as one expects but I bet it made a cool movie though. Some really unchanged issues.
