While traveling abroad by air, passengers have to get services from several airports in several countries from start to finish. If you have ever traveled abroad, you must have had that experience. It can be a good or bad experience, as well as an immortal memory. Even if there are several airports in the same country, the quality of services received from each may vary. For example, if we take a direct flight from Colombo to Bangkok, Thailand, we have to get services from Bandaranaike Airport in Katunayake and Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok. An invisible mechanism is working in the airport to make this three-and-a-half-hour journey a success. Thousands of employees contribute to it from behind the scenes.
