Usage examples of liftoffs.

There will be no liftoffs or landings from Flood Harbor for half an hour either way of your slot, but be aware that there may be traffic from the Cove or Drylands.

Adele expected the ships to stage their liftoffs at least a minute apart, but instead they broke from the harbor's surface within seconds of one another.

A few liftoffs and landings would begin to crater any solid surface, even bedrock or reinforced concrete.

Once the blizzard turned south, the spaceport was closed down to liftoffs and the fuel had been left on the truck.

Designed to stop the landings, they were unable to perform that function, instead being held back to stop liftoffs on the part of the landers.
