Would they add any Chinese airports in the
game？

I think we should chill on the airports for a bit since we just got a new one three days ago. Just my opinion tho

They have said on their past live steams that it is unlikely. Probably same issues that kept them from releasing DEL.

Unlikely. Known or suspected possible airports are as follows:
IAD remodel
CPT
SCL
DEL possibly in the future (it has been indefinitely delayed but not cancelled.)
“An airport between Europe and Australia” (India appears to be far and away the best candidate)
Kai Tak (several years away)
Devs have hinted at Taipei but it appears to not have any substance behind it.
Devs have said HNL and ANC appeal to them.
Community has been clamoring for Singapore changi for a while now.
I think that’s everything

Its ultimately unknown, but since WoA is not available on mainland Chinese app stores in my understanding, I think its pretty unlikely.

What is the status of the IAD remodel (if anyone actually knows)?

Rumour has it coming in December.

No information is known. Do not take this as anything approaching confirmed info.
Maybe not confirmed but logical. It’s good to spread around the world to give targets to other airports and to give players an airport closer to home.
The problem with China is that without Chinese players, you already have NGO and can do India or Southeast Asia as nearby airports that might bring more players in those areas. (I don’t know what the problem with India was but Chinese restrictions on games are well known.)
I would also put ANC low because you already have two USA airports plus SXM and likely one in South America. HNL makes more sense because it puts something in range of NGO and SYD.

As a casual player who isn’t on discord or knows all about this unity fiasco, I would like to see an airport in Florida (maybe FLL) or an airport between London and Sydney where you could run a megahub connecting those cities (possibly Colombo, Sri Lanka or even DXB). I think something we can all agree on is that we don’t need any more European airports.

If you are looking for a mega hub for player connections, I’d like to introduce you to MCT – the only airport that can connect to every airport in game.
I’m not convinced Florida adds much. It would be great to have more S connections to SXM though. Being only able to do CRJs / E170/5s to IAD is somewhat boring. If we get a third US airport, my preferences would be Anchorage (western hemisphere cargo hub and a good opportunity to add sea planes as a new feature expanding gameplay) OR a small airport in the central USA … ABQ would be interesting actually…

In central USA, I would be interested in seeing FlyBoys interpretation of the new buildings at SLC and MCI. In the western hemisphere I would love to see HNL as it would be a really serene environment and the reef runway

SLC is one of my favorite airports to fly through. Would definitely be one of my favorites almost immediately.

Same, it would open for many smaller connection flights into the tetons, like IDA and JAC
I really, really want to see HNL as the next US airport. But I want IAD reworked before anything about a new airport.
Especially after seeing the major quality improvements in SYD, IAD is now lagging even farther behind than it was.

I am in agreement with both of you. Though with recent airports lacking in cargo, ANC I think has a very strong argument too. And in my opinion, UIO (Quito airport) would also be a strong cargo contender.

A South American airport is imperative,what about EZE
I don’t think it’s currently on the devs radar, just SCL and maybe GRU, but not for a while at least.

WoA used to be downloadable in AppStore China, tho what it appears today really is just geopolitical reasons and what the devs know is that they certainly had not followed the rules of playing cards on the table (no talking about politics here but I’m only explaining the reason) but what the devs don’t know or hate to admit is that we actually DO have a lot of mainland Chinese players in this game. I’m one of them, and I downloaded this game through Taiwan AppStore.
