Update 15: Helburg International Airport
Today we look around Helburg International Airport. [HIA] Helburg is the southernmost city in Greater Horsham so far. With over 1.4 million inhabitants in the greater area a medium sized airport with innovative space saving measures was needed. In 2002 Mayor Boule started planning out an international airport with 3 stages of expansion. One of the space saving measures was to put 80% of one the terminals underground and have a plaza area above. This terminal was to be the biggest of 2 major terminals in the first expansion stage. The other being all above ground. Today we look at the airport in stage 1.
This is an overview of the airport. 3 runways, 2 terminals and 2 extra landing strips.
This is a picture of the new eTag security gates at the HIA. All authorized vehicles have a special tag on them that lifts the gate when they drive past. 2 police officers are always on standby if there is trouble. There are one of these at every entry/exit to the airport.
This is a picture of the two private landing strips used by celebrities and the wealthy for a more private entry in Helburg. Other planes are not permitted to land here except in emergencies.
This picture shows the medium sized above ground terminal servicing the smaller planes and connecting flights to other localized airports in the region. Having many facilities inside the terminal there is plenty to do before heading down the long gate corridor to your gate.
This is a picture of the parked 747's outside T2 waiting to be boarded.
This final picture is of the above ground part of T2. As you can see a large open plaza is situated in the middle.
Thanks for reading Update 15 and stay tuned for the next update.
