Saturnia International Airport
After years of planning, construction, and anticipation, the brand new Saturnia International Airport has opened. It is located in Port Town, a northern Saturnia neighborhood that once served as a large industrial center. Saturnia is no longer as big an industrial center, so many of the factories and refineries sat derelict for years, even. This means many industrial companies that stood were forced out of the area. However, the old Saturnia airport was too small and too close to the skyscrapers of Downtown Saturnia.
Today is the day in which the new airport is opened, where there will be much festivity. The first plane is scheduled to land on 12:00 exactly after departing from the existing Saturnia International Airport. This small plane seating 75 will contain a veteran pilot who has been to every country in the world, as well as volunteer firefighters and police officers. The plane departed the original airport at 11:00, planning on flying around the Saturnia area before landing at the new airport, making the six year construction period seem worth it.
Foremost, the new complex is a contemporary facility boasting two terminals (one for domestic travel, the second for international travel), two massive parking garages, three runways, hangars and fueling facilities, and a hotel.
The International Terminal has room for bus pickups/dropoffs, a large food court, a sleek, modern design, and the important things; currency exchange, travel information, and seating for waiting for your plane.
The garage at the International Terminal is massive, as well as having its own rail station. For a city Saturnia's size, a garage for an airport on that scale is vital.
Airport security shouldn't be need lest something unlawful occur.
So is airport fire station. Better safe than sorry.
There are three runways for the airport, one that is best for small planes, the other two can have planes fly across the oceans.
A hotel is also attached to the complex, which is fine for business travelers.
As stated before, planning for this airport's construction took years. Proposals for the airport were first seen as early as the mid 1990's. Construction on the complex began in 2006, 9 years ago. Today's event shows the amount of time, effort, money, and energy put into this. But because of all that, Saturnia is more accessible and new than ever before.
