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.

I read Airport many, many years ago, but when I saw it free from Audible Plus, I decided to listen. It had been long enough that I’d forgotten the plot and I found it immediately engaging. Harkening back to days before airport and airline security, it was fascinating to remember that time. The narration was superb, perfectly breathless and rapid at all the right moments. It was gripping.
I suggest you download the free sample of the Kindle version of the book, and read the preface written by Hailey before his death. It explains one language change made since the original publication, as well as all those technological and security changes. It’s insightful context.

Still great
