A new and improved airport concept is disclosed herein. Redesigned aircraft would be allowed to dock in the terminal instead of pulling up to loading bridge. The nose section of the aircraft would tilt upwards or to the side, either before or after the aircraft enters the terminal docking station, wherein the passenger compartment would be removed from the aircraft and placed in a deplaning area. Subsequently, a new passenger compartment, fully loaded, would be placed into the plane. Baggage would also be compartmentalized and would be removed through the tail end section of the plane and the next baggage compartment would be put in place. The airport would be laid out in order to minimize passenger traffic and restrict vehicles to emergency and official airport use only. Common use aircraft could be used to accommodate a variety of airline companies flights, and also reduce fuel consumption and time. Dwell time at gates being reduced will mean less gates required to accommodate all aircraft. Terminals will no longer need to be spread out to accommodate more people. New restaurant designs would allow for a food court or restaurant tower.

What is claimed is: 1. A passenger compartment for use in an aircraft for an improved airport system comprising: an aircraft, having an interior and an exterior; a plurality of seats detachably affixed to a frame, said frame being disposed below said plurality of seats, wherein said frame does not depend on any extension of said frame to surround said plurality of seats and provides for unobstructed access to each seat of said plurality of seats; and said frame being detachably mounted within the interior of the aircraft, wherein said frame is attached to a bottom portion of the interior, and wherein said frame may be removed from the aircraft, and wherein said plurality of seats may be removed from the aircraft with said frame, and, a track mounted within said aircraft onto which said frame is slidably mountable wherein said track allows the frame to be moved into and out of said aircraft, wherein each side of the compartment is substantially open when removed from said aircraft, so the plurality of seats are accessible from the exterior of the compartment when the compartment is removed from the aircraft. 2. The passenger compartment of claim 1, wherein said passenger compartment comprises more than one independent and interconnectable module. 3. The passenger compartment of claim 1, wherein said track system is a winch type system, and further wherein a cable is provided for moveably engaging said passenger compartment. 4. The passenger compartment of claim 1, further comprising a lavatory module detachably mounted to said frame, wherein said lavatory module may be removed from the aircraft with said frame. 5. The passenger compartment in claim 1, further comprising a food module detachably mounted to said frame, wherein said food module may be removed from the aircraft with said frame. 6. The passenger compartment of claim 1, further comprising an overhead storage bin fixedly attached to the interior of the aircraft above said seats, wherein said overhead storage bin remains within the aircraft when said frame is removed. 7. The passenger compartment of claim 1, further comprising an overhead storage bin fixedly attached to said frame above said seats, wherein said overhead storage bin may be removed from the aircraft with said frame. 8. The passenger compartment of claim 1, further comprising: a sub-floor mounted to said frame, wherein said sub-floor defines a space between said sub-floor and bottom of said frame for storage, and wherein said sub-floor having pivotally mounted doors therewithin; and further wherein said sub-floor may be removed from the aircraft with said frame. 9. The passenger compartment of claim 1, further comprising passenger access for ingress and egress from more than one side of the passenger compartment. 10. The passenger compartment of claim 1, further comprising a sub-floor, having an outer surface, mounted to said frame wherein said sub-floor defines a space between said sub-floor and bottom of said frame for storage. 11. The space defined between said sub-floor and bottom of said frame of claim 10, further comprising at least one sensor, wherein said sensor detects the presence of an article within said space. 12. The passenger compartment of claim 10, further comprising at least one pivotally mounted door affixed to said sub-floor, wherein said at least one pivotally mounted door communicates between the outer surface of the sub-floor and said space defined by said sub-floor and the bottom of said frame. 13. The at least one pivotally mounted door of claim 12, further comprising a seat attached to said at least one pivotally mounted door, wherein said seat may be tilted upward to open said at least one pivotally mounted door. 14. The at least one pivotally mounted door of claim 12, wherein said at least one pivotally mounted door is positioned in a direction away from a seat towards the forward end of an aircraft. 15. The passenger compartment of claim 10, further comprising at least one row of seats fixedly attached to said outer surface of said sub-floor. 16. A passenger compartment for use in an aircraft for an improved airport system comprising: an aircraft, having an interior and an exterior; a plurality of seats detachably affixed to a frame, said frame being disposed below said plurality of seats, wherein said frame does not depend on any extension of said frame to surround said plurality of seats and provides for unobstructed access to each seat of said plurality of seats; and said frame being detachably mounted within the interior of the aircraft, wherein said frame is attached to a bottom portion of the interior, and wherein said frame may be removed from the aircraft, and wherein said plurality of seats may be removed from the aircraft with said frame, and wherein said compartment is rotationally attached to said aircraft, wherein a gyroscope controls rotation of said passenger compartment to keep said compartment level.
