The Third Entry. I am trying to present the city bits by bits and this time: Hillwest.

Immediately at the western foot of Oak Hill, Northedge considered as a pretty old part of the city. Some of the earliest utilities can be found here. After the plan of reclaiming and building the new airport just off the coast of Northedge many industries rushed into the area. The advantage of transportation provided by the airport and highway have ensure the good condition for industrial growth.

Benzi Airport

Benzi Airport is the node of the region. It provide services for freight and commuters, both regional and international. The goal of the airport is to bring 1st class services to anyone who would visit it.

The Airport itself hosts many local and well as international airlines companies, attracted by a competitive price and friendly environment. People often come for transition, or they can also use the direct ferry service to reach various ferry terminals of Benzihor.

To enhance the function, direct connection of highway and public transportation is a must

Northedge Industrial District

Modern industries, like R&D of microchips, environmental products, medicines and high-tech gadgets, concentrates in this newly developed area. Certainly they have brought quite a revenue to the metropolitan area...

Northedge is also the home of the regional television studio and production centre. It produces many famous soap opera, reality shows, documentaries, kids channel, and they also make news, live-event and so on.

Getting nearer the foot of Oak Hill comes the older neighbourhood. One can find older industries and residents here. The beauty of the hillside also attracts citizens. During the day quite a number of people go to the walking track which runs around the hill as a way of escaping from the urban jungle of Betono.

This is the second I actually make a custom airport, which is quite a work as I am not a airport expert anyway :no:

So I simply take a simple airport layout from wikipedia, and then one should realize and appreciate the complexity of a real-life airport, not to mention the great airport in the real world!

Yet I still think my airport is a bit too dull particularly the terminals, ramps and apron. I am happy to take any suggestion to improve those for the next one.

These are for today. Thanks for viewing and comments are welcome for sure!

As for the replies:

TO James and K50: Thanks for the appreciation!

This looks great. Not a big airport, but it's awesome and did the people make a new island (like Dutch and Dubai people), only for an airport?

I guess it is rare in US but in fact airports on artificial islands (or reclaimed peninsulas for landing strips) are quite common in the coast of Asia, for examples  HongKong, Seoul as well as Osaka have airports on man-made islands/land.
