Get all possible airports

The task of the next two exercises is to search for all possible flight routes. This means that, first, you have to find out all possible departure and destination airports from the table flightPlan.

In this exercise, you will create a CTE table named possible_Airports using the UNION syntax which will consist of all possible airports. One query of the UNION element selects the Departure airports and the second query selects the Arrival airports.
