This flight manifest is really not very different (only much longer) than the first book Hailey conscripted with John Castle, Runway Zero-Eight, here amplified to grand Hotel proportions. Writing up a storm--that is a blizzard--at Lincoln International, this cross-sections some of the personnel's lives and loves throughout the emergency, ending with a crash due to one Guerrero carrying an explosive device for insurance benefits (you do remember that one). On hand, among others--Mel Bakersfield whose marriage to the petulant Cindy has become uneasy; his brother contemplating suicide, suffering from the guilt of a previous crash; a little old lady stowaway and a pregnant stewardess (via the pilot); etc. etc. All perfectly smoothly lubricated and pressurized for certainly part of that audience he maitre d'h'd on the best seller list.

Arthur Hailey's blockbuster #1 New York Times bestseller, which was made into a hit film, takes readers behind the scenes of an airport and into the cockpit of a passenger jet during a time of crisis 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. This ebook includes a foreword by the author.
