This tutorial shows how to build an airport.

Dos and Don'ts
What you should do and do not.

Dos

 * Use a superflat world - airports is much better to build in a flat world than a regular. Flat areas is slightly hard to find and build an airport on regular worlds. However, you can build a small airport i a regular world, but make so there is a flat area and remove any mountains or hills.
 * Think of the size and area before you build - is the airport a simple airstrip with a runway made of sand, gravel, grass, or dirt, is it a military airport with military planes, a cargo airport, or is it a commercial airport?

Don'ts

 * Clear out land. This is a wate of time, and is not very pretty to use.
 * Plan before you build to make it easier to build the basics and for example: the bagage claim area, security control, passport control and customs at the exit.

Structure
The structure of the airport may vary, from a single terminal to airports with multiple terminals or concourses. There is recommended that you make one arrival and one departure hall per terminal, and if you build a two-floor airport terminal, the arrival hall can be on the bottom and departures at the top. You can then build a connection between the airport and the city using either a subway or shuttle bus.

Runways
At least one runway should be build on the airport, from a simple runway made out of cheap materials like grass, gravel, sand, or clay, to larger and longer runways made of concrete. The length on the runway should be from 300-900 blocks so there can depart and arrive small and large planes on the runway.
