History

Originally built in 1918 by the city of Little Caldera, the Volkspartei quickly asserted that only they should have access to aircraft, while normal citizens should be restricted to slower travel. This was originally justified as trying to protect the population from unnatural speeds and the toll they could have on the body, so Little Caldera went without a public airport until the opening of Neu Maessen's airport in 1963, which runs buses and taxis to and from Little Caldera.

During the Second Great War, the airport was occupied by Daxian forces who used the airport to transport exploited resources of Caldera until the conclusion of the war in 1943. During this period, the Volkspartei retreated to Neu Maessen, with no access to air travel until the end of the war.

During the Siege of Little Caldera, Volin militia forces occupied the airport to prevent travel to it, but they did not use it themselves. It was assumed that the airport would be an important location for the Volkspartei Defense to operate, but the Volin militia saw little combat over the airport, only clashing against the Calderan Armed Forces as they tried to move through the airport to access another part of the city.

In the modern day, the Volksport has been criticized for only facilitating Volkspartei transport, but the Volksport claims that its small size prevents it from being widely used.
