airports

Its no ordinary product hence the long list!

The more designers I can find the better – reduce the time it takes but I got ages to go first, so if anyone can reccomend groups or knows of any already produced scenery for these then it would be much appreciated,

WOW! That’s one big list!

Edited my original post – i’m looking to get them airports done – its a humongous list I know but I have plenty of time,

I just want to find someone who will create them or contact someone who has made any of them to see if I can get rights to include it,

Depends on the airport – where is it?

My hometown airport, ONT, handles about 7 million pax annually. Southwest is the major player there. Take them away, and they handle about 1 million, probably. 😉

EDI- currently at 7 and half million passengers, I expect we shall burst throught the 8 million barrier this year. 🙂 Growing at about 8% a month just now passenger wise, currently the busiest airport in Scotland, GLA will probably take that title over the summer. EDI also handles the most freight by far in Scotland.
1 terminal, 2 active runways though NOT parallel, 1 x wind. Parallel taxiways will be finished in the next few months of so, multi-storey car park also finished within the next few months.
Work should be beginning on the new tower soon, if it hasn’t already, and the next phase of development has not long been announced, including widening and lengthening the terminal building.
EDI has a good future ahead of it! 😀

I don’t think there is any security as it is a domestic arrival. It was the same for me when I arrived in GLA from STN, straight off the plane, down the pier, and out into the terminal carparks within about 5 minutes or so!

Thanks for that.
I really liked the viewing gallery, alot of windows and lots of chairs. The food court was there when I went in November, but the Dixons and Paul Rankin Cafe weren’t. This time I enjoyed a very nice Coffee and Vienesse cookie in the Rankin Cafe 🙂
I was very disappointed by the Dixons, which I expected to be a fair sized store which instead is a little stall.
I have been amazed both times travelling through BFS, that on arrival theres absolutely NO security. No customs, no passport control. Although the security on departure is pretty tight.

The current building work is going on at the TNT Depot and Cargo areas as well as work still ongoing (taking ages) to do things in the interntional pier to do with people seperation of outgoing and ingoing flights.

The food court you no doubt passed on the way to departures is all new (since last summer) and they have opened a new host of shops in Janurary last including airside Dixons and Cafe Rankin.

They slow work down for busy periods at Easter and the whole month of July and end of August to allow less congestion.

Viewing gallery is crap and is there to stay 🙁 no plans for better one or even outdoor at BFS is the more high security airport in NI due to bombing threats.

LPL is apparently a fast grower from 670,000 about 5 years ago to approximately 2,600,000

Glasgow International (GLA) 8million a year expected to rise to 9 or 10 million this year.
Glasgow Prestwick (PIK) 2.5million and the fastest growing in Scotland and 1 of the most fastest growing in Europe.

Belfast International Airport – 4 mil yearly and they are rebuilding everything currently (in stages) so it will become one of the UKs most modern airports when they finish!

My local of course is LBA, which topped 2 million passengers last year for the 1st time. This is down mainly to the start up of Jet2.com who now have 6 based a/c here.

Farnborough probably only gets a couple of hundred thousand pax a year as the average aircraft is a Leajet! We do get 2 146 flights a day on the BAE company shuttle. Plus the odd D328JET,Saab2000,EMB145 and plenty of BBJ’s.

Dublin airport handles about 15million passengers a year.
