Bari Karol Wojtyła Airport / Bari Palese
(IATA: BRI, ICAO: LIBD)
General Info: LIBD (BRI) or Bari Airport is located in the south-east of the Italian peninsula. It is the second airport that you will unlock in WoA. It can service up to 25 S, M, and L aircraft in-game. Click / Tap Here to see Bari Airport in Google Maps.
Unlock Requirements: Unlocking BRI either completing level 27 at INN or 4GP
Tip: Click on the Arrow (⯈) to read about the respective topic.
Key: RWY = Runway; [S] = Small; [M] = Medium; [L] = Large; [S/M] = Small & Medium; ￦ = WoA Money; GP = Golden Airplane, SP = Silver Planes
Airport Overview:
In-game there is 1 runway and 1 taxiway with multiple exits. RWY25 is the active one. Aircraft land and take off on RWY25 and take the nearest exit depending on plane size. There are a total of 21 Commercial stands and 4 Cargo Stands.
This is a focused aerial view of the airport. In the picture, you can see everything important and all of the stands. You can see the taxiway that connects the departing planes to the runway from the stands. To the top right is the Cargo Stands while the rest are Commercial Stands. To the left on the apron are some non-accessible stands.
See Stands & Costs for a more detailed overview of Stands!

Aircraft Handling
- Aircraft Handlers - These are needed for the successful On-Time handling of aircraft. At INN you start with X total and it’s up to you how you allocate them. However for smaller aircraft you usually need the total number for that aircraft to have an on-time departure.
With BRI you only have a choice of S or M cargo aircraft and those will need between 2 and 7 handlers. Hint: when you have M cargo, you generally can use less handlers than you would for pax aircraft meaning your total will go further. If needed you can also use the Automatic Handler option for ￦ and the aircraft will process for you. But it will cost you one of you available handlers too.
For Passenger Aircraft: you have a choice of S, M and L which can require from 2 to 13 handlers.
You can gain 12 more handlers total by completing levels: 2, 19, 28 and 44 you can also buy them in the shop as shown below.
Aircraft Movement:
-
Landing: Aircrafts land on RWY 25, then taxi to the gate. Planes dependent on size would take the nearest exit and entry to their stand. In the focus view, the first taxiway is for L planes, moving to the left is for M planes, and before that is the S planes. The Stands are divided into 3 Apron Areas since there are 3 taxiways. Planes for 3xx - 4xx would taxi-in from the first taxiway on the right and taxi-out from the middle one. Planes for 205 would use the middle taxiway for both. Planes for 201 and 1xx would use the left taxiway for both.
-
Departure Holding Positions: Aircraft will hold short at the holding position on RWY 25 taxiway for take-off.
-
Take-off: Aircraft will taxi to RWY 25 onto the runway and take-off.
However, this airport sometimes has drawbacks in terms of Aircraft Movement, see Limitations for more info.
Limitations:
- Continuous play over time backs up traffic at the airport and leaves most stands empty. Continuous play is not recommended. The airport can only have 1 airplane taxiing at the same time from parking stands. A plane pushing back from a terminal stand the movement of many taxiing planes. Takeoff queues are frequent, along with landing queues. Bulk play is recommended.
Constantly manage the takeoff/landing ratio according to your airport’s situation.

Player Strategies
@AviaWilliam suggests: While at INN save one (1) Golden Plane and exchange it for 10,000 ￦. At BRI buy advanced handling and buy one M stand and upgrade Service trucks to LVL 2 each buy another bus and fuel truck and you’re ready for Bari!
@tako18126 suggests: Once service trucks are upgraded focus on purchasing stands that are NOT connected to the terminals. Invest in the M stands that are not connected to the terminal. Cargo is also key, make sure to purchase the cargo stand before as well.
@Ivan0921 suggests: use of gold planes to speed up early ramp-up of operations is suggested. I advise having 4-5 S stands so you can quickly get the BAe achievement. Focus on the immediate development of the 4 M stands, followed by L, then terminal and its M stands, and finally, S Cargo and other S stands. Aim to have all stands bought. Do not forget to upgrade vehicles for maximum grind efficiency.
Final thoughts & Additional Notes
BRI is an excellent airport to introduce beginners to the fuller potential of the game because as was mentioned INN is inherently difficult for grinding cash. It also serves, in my opinion, as the best airport for learning how to build and use your own fleet. Once upgraded fully (both stands and services) and along with a strong fleet, BRI can also become a good airport for farming golden planes while you’re chasing connections and achievements.
