Neu Maessen International Airport (IATA: NMA, ICAO: WNMA, TAA: NMA), commonly referred to as “Neu Maessen Airport", the airport is the largest airport in Austro-Caldera and serves that country's 3 biggest cities, being Neu Maessen, Little Caldera, and Neu Berlin, descending in order of population. Due to the distance between Neu Maessen and Neu Berlin to Little Caldera, the airport offers complimentary taxi services to Little Caldera that are usually covered by your airplane ticket.

Neu Maessen Airport is the primary hub for Stahk Airlines, the most popular airline of Caldera. Over 20 airlines fly to Neu Maessen Airport from 150 international destinations. In the early 1960s, the newly established Stahk Airlines was seeking to start its own airport that connected Caldera's biggest cities, since at the time, the only airports in Austro-Caldera were private or only flew to Neu Maessen or a suburb. In between the cities of Neu Berlin and Neu Maessen, Stahk found an abandoned horse racing track that they decided would be perfect for an airport. It began construction on July 10th, 1962, and finished construction on June 4th, 1963. It quickly became the most traveled to airport in Austro-Caldera, thanks to its proximity to the two most traveled destinations in the entire country. After opening up a taxi service to Little Caldera, the airport had a monopoly on air travel, thanks to the fact that public airports are banned from Mashk valley, where Little Caldera is located, and no other airport in the country could offer as much widespread service as Neu Maessen Airport does.

The airport serves 20 million passengers yearly to 8 (technically 6, since Neu Berlin, Neu Maessen, and Little Caldera are all considered 1 destination) destinations across Austro-Caldera and over 100 destinations across the world.

Location

Neu Maessen International Airport is rated by the Austro-Calderan Travel Magazine to be in the absolute best spot that an airport could be in, being centrally located between Neu Maessen and Neu Berlin, two of the largest cities in Austro-Caldera. The airport itself is legally located within Neu Maessen, on the outskirts of the city with very few residents.

When the would-be airport was first established as a horse racing track in 1921, the original owners of the horse racing track purposely picked a remote spot, so they could make loud announcements over speakers and megaphones without disturbing residents. However, this decision was the downfall of the horse racing track, as it did not pick up the popularity needed to support it's investment. Instead, it's location was prime for Stahk Airlines' idea of an airport that would allow international travelers to visit any of the 3 largest cities in Austro-Caldera. Purchasing the land for $200,000 on January 8th, 1962, Stahk Airlines enlisted architects to design a modern airport which began construction on July 10th and finished construction on June 4th, 1963.

The location was so efficient, that within months, the airport became the most visited airport by international travelers in all of Austro-Caldera.

Operations

Neu Maessen International Airport is used by over 50 airlines, all of which except 2 are international. Out of the average destination list, only 2 remain domestic, while 99.8% of all destinations are international. Out of 21 million passengers in 2030, 20 million were from or going to one of 300 destinations in 120 countries. Stahk Airlines continuously changes 10 destinations yearly in an attempt to boost ticket sales.

Terminals

Neu Maessen only features 2 terminals, 1 for international travel, and 1 for domestic or luxury travel.

Terminal I

Terminal I, designated international, is the most used terminal since it's construction in 1975. It had a major renovation in 2010, and is the terminal that 20 million passengers pass through yearly. It features 50 gates, with 25 on each side of the main airstrip with a sky walk above it, connecting the two sets of 25. Since some passengers have complained about the time it takes to reach connecting flights, Stahk Airlines have began offering taxiing within the airport from one flight to the next, if both flights are with Stahk Airlines.

Austro-Calderan Travel Magazine noted that Neu Maessen International Airport's Terminal I was still one of the most efficient terminals just by its layout, stating that unlike terminals in other airports with so many gates, Terminal I prioritizes ease of access to gates, and the distance between gates on either side of the airstrip are equal, and also a shorter distance apart than in other airports.

Terminal N

Terminal N, designated national, is the luxury and domestic travel terminal. Although it was the first constructed terminal, and only one in use from 1963-1975, it has many fewer users. In 2030, only 800,000 passengers used Terminal N. Terminal N only has 3 gates, with 2 always heading to a city in Austro-Caldera, and 1 of those two always flies to a destination in Bavogia. The third gate is the luxury gate, and its destination changes daily, with the most common destination being Vilauristre, Burgundie.

Terminal N is internationally renown for the extent of its luxury, often being called the vacation destination instead of the actual destination instead. Terminal N features a spa, swimming pool, hotel rooms, cafés, and a variety of high quality restaurants. Passengers never have to walk anywhere, as a complimentary cart is provided once passengers pass through the streamlined security process. Stahk Airlines seeks out service providers to ensure Terminal N continues to be a vacation spot in itself, so that Calderans will book flights simply to enjoy the terminal, and international travelers will seek the luxury option out of Terminal N for the same reason.

The largest complaint that crops up about Terminal N is the quality of the terminal's exclusive airstrip. Airstrip 09 is gravel instead of paved, and is only 520 meters long, meaning the majority of commercial aircraft cannot land or take off from it. Because of this, only domestic flights with quick turning planes take off from Airstrip 09, and Terminal N luxury flights will be moved onto the main airstrip instead. Passengers who ride domestic flights on Airstrip 09 complain about the bumpiness and the fright they have from riding in such a tight plane.
