Air safety is an important concern in the operation of an airport, and almost every airfield includes equipment and procedures for handling emergency situations.
(For example, see Delta Air Lines Flight 191.) Microburst radar was developed as an aid to safety during landing, giving two to five minutes warning to aircraft in the vicinity of the field of an microburst event.
The traffic generated by airports both in the air and on the surface can be a major source of aviation noise and air pollution which may interrupt nearby residents' sleep or, in extreme cases, be harmful to their health.

 Storms: Analyzing and Predicting Mesoscale Weather
Delta Air Lines Flight 191 was struck down by an unanticipated, destructive, small-scale weather disturbance known as a microburst—a sudden, violent, highly localized downward rush of cold air beneath a convective cloud.
Although isolated thunderstorms are not rare, ranks of thunderstorms often form along advancing cold fronts, triggered by a wedge of cold air that forces warm, moist air upward ahead of the front, starting the convective process.
The CLAWS meteorologists provided the FAA air traffic controllers in the tower with daily forecasts of the probability of microbursts within 20 miles of the airport and issued an advisory warning whenever a microburst was observed within five miles of Stapleton.
