Location

Alstin-Highwind International Airport is located 20 kilometers southeast of Downtown Alstin, falls entirely within the boundaries of the Borough of Highwind. The airport is accessible via numerous transportation methods, including the adjacent A1 Motorway and the Alstin Underground's Langford Line.

Operations

Alstin-Highwind International Airport is used by over 90 airlines flying to 380 destinations in 125 countries. The airport is the primary hub of Air Alstin and is a base for Raven Airlines and UR Airways. It has four passenger terminals (lettered A to D) and a cargo terminal. Of Alstin-Highwind’s 105 million passengers in 2030, 65% were travelling into or out of the country; the remaining 35% were bound for, or arriving from, destinations within the United Republic. The busiest single destination in passenger numbers is Kurst, with over 2.5 million passengers flying between Alstin and Kurst International Airport in 2030.

Facilities

In the 1950s, Highwind had six runways, arranged in three pairs at different angles in the shape of a hexagram with the permanent passenger terminal in the middle and the older terminal along the north edge of the field; two of its runways would always be within 30° of the wind direction. As the required length for runways has grown, Highwind now has only four runways arranged in the shaped of a square. From the air, almost all of the original runways can still be seen, incorporated into the present system of taxiways. North of the northern runway and the former taxiway and aprons, now the site of extensive car parks, is the entrance to the access tunnel and the site of Highwind's unofficial "gate guardian".

There is a multi-faith prayer room and counseling room in each terminal, in addition to Saint John's Interdenominational Chapel in an underground vault adjacent to the old control tower, where services take place. The chaplains organize and lead prayers at certain times in the prayer room. The airport has its resident press corps, consisting of seven photographers and one TV crew, serving all the major newspapers and television stations around the world. Most of Highwind's internal roads’ names are coded by their first letter: N in the north (e.g. Nyland Road), E in the east (e.g. Elmer Road), S in the south (e.g. Stevens Road), W in the west (e.g. Walter Road), C in the center (e.g. Campbell Road).

Terminals

The airport's terminal complex consists of four terminals. The entire terminal complex has 137 total gates: 121 gates with jetways and 16 hardstand locations from which passengers can board or disembark using the airport's plane mate vehicles. The terminals are connected by a three-line automated people mover system called the Highwind Underground, moving passengers between the four terminals and the Airport Hotel.
