approach aprons
Explanation:
sounds suspicously like a literal translation of English.

In construction terms, an apron is a hard-surfaced area adjacent to a structure (typically used for the areas around airport terminals), e.g. (ref 1) 'connecting taxiways which provide access to the apron and building areas. '

or (ref 2): 'Construct Apron And Access Roads '
