Flughafen (ger. Airport) Aspern (IATA: KAH) is situated on the westernmost peninsula on the Island of Aspern. A territory of the Pacific nation of Westria, Aspern Insel (ger. island) is its only territory in the southern hemisphere. Lying 500km south of the Equator and 600 km east of the international date line, Aspern is a premiere tourist destination for both budget-conscious and luxury destination seekers.

The overview of the airport shows the multi-role layout. Being nearly 3000 km southwest of the Westrian coast, the airport is a shared facility with the Westrian combined Air Force and Naval Aviation wings.

Several units have recently arrived for ASW (Anti-Submarine Warfare) and air superiority training exercises. 

The Westrian Navy purchased the P8-A Poseidon as part of a fleet renewal. The P8-A is one of the world's premiere ASW planes. It is armed with torpedoes, Harpoon anti-ship missiles and other weapons, and is able to drop and monitor sonobuoys in its ASW role. At the edge of the image, an A400M Atlas transport is visible. 

The eye in the sky is the Boeing E-7A Wedgetail. Based on a Boeing 737-700, with the addition of an advanced Multi-Role Electronically Scanned Array (MESA) radar, its 10 state-of-the-art mission crew consoles can track airborne and maritime targets simultaneously.

Air defense and interdiction are the roles of the F-24 Typhoon (also known as the Eurofighter), and air superiority is the mission of the stealthy F-31 Firefox. The Firefox is similar in stealth characteristics to the American F-117A Nighthawk, utilizing low-observable coatings and stealthy design. A homegrown platform, it is categorized as a gen. 4.5 fighter, somewhat behind elite platforms such as the F-22 Raptor. 

The civilian side of the airport is designed to accommodate jets up to the 787-9. Cargo flights up to the 747-8F can be handled in the small cargo area.  

Luxury operator Orchid Airways is the last airline in the world to operate the Concorde. Tooling and machine parts were purchased under license from France's Aerospatiale and transferred to a facility in the Westrian capitol region (to be shown in a later update). Their fleet of 20 Concordes flies to multiple destinations in North America, Japan and Australia. Owing to advancements in engine efficiency and lighter-weight replacement parts, range has improved from 3900nmi to almost 4500! The longest route Orchid flies the Concorde on is Aspern - Chicago O'Hare at ~ 7800km (4200 nmi). Supersonic flight is not permitted overland, though the Concorde's Mach 2 cruising speed is ideal for the long flight over the Pacific. The flight takes approximately 4 hours from Chicago to the point off of Baja California, where the Concorde may stretch its wings and break the sound barrier. The remainder of flight takes barely another 2 hours at top cruising speed! The entire trip would take a conventional passenger jet around 9 hours by comparison.

Some eye candy shows the Concorde on final approach in landing configuration. Due to the delta-wing's poor low speed performance, the Concorde must approach at a steeper angle-of-attack of ~12 degrees and higher ground speed. The reason for the articulated nose of the plane was to allow the pilots to see their aiming point at such a steep angle.

Other leisure operators such as Tropical Sunrise can be found at KAH

And of course, the elite love to fly their own private jets here for either business or pleasure, but mostly pleasure.

That's all for now!

Canadian Forces Base Otona, in the city of Otona in the Greater Warrington metropolitan area. It's a smallish military airport mainly serving CC-130 Hercules in a support and search-and-rescue role. Unsurprisingly, you can see the edge of Canadian Coast Guard Station Otona to the south. At one point, CFB Otona was a training base for Commonwealth aviators bound for the front during World War II, but as Otona grew into a bedroom community of Warrington in the postwar years, the city grew up to the edge of the base. They're in an uneasy relationship: Southern Otona especially is subject to draconian density and height limits to ensure the approach lanes remain clear for incoming military aircraft, putting something of a crimp on a city that wants to expand its urban boundary.

A Herc taxiing up for takeoff. The runway was expanded northeast over the years to make room for bigger aircraft like the Herc or the CC-177 Globemaster III, which will also fly out of here once I can find the darn prop in Lot Editor.

Some really nice airports recently.

Here's the international airport of the region I'm working on currently. Still a very big WIP.

Lots of custom stuff. Not made yet will be the hangars and maintenance facilities, the ATCT and other various stuff. Also the terminal building is currently a place holder. Although I quite like EN's Haneda terminal it hasn't aged well and is currently not up to date with 7.5m elevated roads and so on.

Runway 18-36 is 3600m long. Enough to accommodate the 747.
Runway 13-31 is 2600m long.

Overview. it spans three tiles. Right click view image for full size.

Excellence in airports WolfZe and Scaley McSlither! FIVE STARS!

Let me introduce my NEO-INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT.

The overview shows that my airport occupied the whole single map. This giant airport is inspired by Haneda airport, which is an international airport in Tokyo, Japan, built on the artificial island, with terminals centered, and multi-dimentional traffic network combined with bridges and tunnels.

It makes up of three passenger terminals, one cargo terminal and five runways. As Haneda airport, it’s on a big artificial island, which is in the south of my city(not finished). The highway and metro system connect the airport with the main land from three directions - the north to the CBD, the east to the old port and the west to the Hi-tech industrial port.

The passenger Terminal 1 and 2 are located in the center part of the island. The sunken highway goes through the middle of the terminals, and leads to the cargo center in the east. Terminal 3 is in the south part of the island, which is the smallest one.

The upper one is terminal 1, mainly used for the domestic flights, while the lower but bigger one is terminal 2,  which is used for both domestic and international flights. It can be seen clearly that the complex traffic system are designed in the central area. The sunken highway, which is from the west land, connects with the roads on the both sides, and the roads lead to the either terminal entrance. The metro transfers into GLR and ELR, and finally connects with two EL-railway stations. On the each side of the terminals, two huge eight-level garages are outside the buildings.

The highway passes under two taxiways and direct to the cargo terminal. Driving through the flyover to north, passengers can arrive in the city center, by a long undersea tunnel and an oversea bridge.

There are many warehouses besides the highway. The highway continues passing under the airport field to the east land, which is the old port of my city.

[Skieriver 40]

At the southern part of the island is the terminal 3. It's the smallest one, mainly for some short distance flights to domestic cities. The road to the west goes along the bank, and passes the end of runways, connecting with the highway behind some huge hangars. There is also a street as a shortcut leads to terminal 2. 

Passengers need to leave from the highway by the exit ramp, and cross the long bridge to terminal 3.

There is a small building beside T3, which is called VIP hall, for some rich people taking their private jets. The road leads to the cargo terminal or the highway to the city center.

The following graphs show the runways around the island. There are four  main runways - two east-west facing, one north-south facing and one diagonal.

This fifth runway is the most special one. As the real runway in Haneda airport, it is built on an additional artificial isle, connected by some taxiway bridges with the main island. This runway is mainly used for the cargo planes. 

[Skieriver 40]

Let's concentrate on the facilities of this airport. In the core area, some shops and restaurants are outside the terminals.

Outside T2, fire station and police station are ready for the emergency. The shuttle bus terminal can send passengers to the downtown.

This building which I called the supply center, Necessary components for airplanes are stored here.

This two blocks are airport administration buildings outside T1. Relatives of officials can enter the airport by an underpass without security check.

Two helipads are in T1.

At the southeast corner, there are some fuel supply facilities

New project time, still in progress. An overview of the gateway to the Antarctic: James Cook International Airport, the largest airport servicing the Commonwealth of Nactegal.

That is, a warmer-than-in-life Kerguelen Islands with a British rather than a French character. Not a huge airport, but then, the country's not huge, either.

Flights servicing Cook International tend to come most often from nations in the southern hemisphere, aside from British Airways. South African flights are pretty well represented, largely because Nactegal's one of those rare places where you can both see penguins and sleep in a four-star hotel at night.

FedEx's air cargo terminal. Cook International is the main gateway for parcels coming to and from the Commonwealth. There's a DHL terminal a bit further up.
