The big one: Gross Coldiz international airport.

The mosaic cuts trough six different city's and I had to paste them together. I think the hassle was worth it.

Feel free to click to enlarge!!

Due to the unique position it had to be long. Therefore the main terminal is the longest building in all of United Coldiz Region:

- North is the arrival and Departure terminals. Enclosed are multi story car parking, train arrival, monorail station and tube entry.

- West is the cargo terminal with CCHH short shipment port.

- Further down are the private jet lot's.

- South are fore technical hangar: for full repair, the planes will be flown to Coldiz Island Hammerstein to be serviced at CATS (see the previous CI journal).

- Also further south is the kerosene storage tanks, filled up by tanker ships.

- South west are hotels convention centre and ferry arrival. Aviation operation is done at mid west, including catering and a small overflow terminal.

Just a close look at the Arrival and Departure terminal. It is a massive bottle neck, but I think that’s the best I can do. What do you think, any advise for better use of space?

Amazing airport. Something you've really nailed are the surroundings. The surrounding seaport and industry really help bring everything to life. I really love you've provided multiple access points, a cargo area, a seaport, and the fact it's on an island is really gorgeous. It's also cool to see the way you've made sure that the surroundings actually somewhat "leak" into the airport. For example, I like that oil container area a lot, as well as the seaport area to the upper right which actually almost intrudes upon the taxiway. Attention to detail is also fantastic. Great variety of airliners, and cool to see the highways and road networks you've used (I think some of those Elevated Road on-ramps are just epic). Also you've managed a private jet and smaller airliner parking (BONUS POINTS :P). There are a few minor mistakes (you definitely don't want to have an elevated rail at the edge of the runway as that's hazardous for landing planes, some more runway exits would be nice, and the runway markings are a bit off), but those can easily be improved upon as you make more airports. 9.5/10, and amazing work man :thumb:

I plan to revise the airport after the whole journal is done. I see some more mistakes I could fix too like no travic and the convention and hotel area.
