### Explanation:
- **AIRPORT KLX Table**: This table provides data on daily departing flights at KLX Airport.
- **Attributes**:
  - **Date**: The date of the recorded flights.
  - **AirlineID** and **AirlineName**: Each airline is uniquely identified by its ID and name.
  - **TerminalID**: Represents a unique terminal at KLX Airport with a certain number of gates.
  - **NumberOfGates**: The number of gates available in a terminal.
  - **NumberOfDepartingFlights**: The total number of flights departing on a given day.

### Additional Information:
- Each airline is permanently assigned one terminal.
- Each terminal can accommodate multiple airlines.
- The table records the number of departing flights for each airline daily.

### Exercises:
- **E4.5a-f**: Describe examples of the insertion, deletion, and modification anomalies.
- **E4.5d-f**: Analyze functional dependencies and normalize the table to 2NF, then to 3NF.

These exercises explore database management concepts such as normal forms and data integrity within the context of the KLX Airport flight schedule.
