Landing Safely with Air Force One
The airport that caters the Air Force One acts immediately before the president’s arrival. They make sure that the airspace is cleared an hour before the landing. The name of the plane also works as a radio call name to avoid confusion with planes nearby.

Once the Air Force One lands, the president won’t need any outside services because his specially-crafted limo known as the “Beast” goes ahead of him on a military cargo plane.
