Why should this airport be added to World of Airports?
Vladivostok International Airport is the largest airport in the Russian Far East, serving as a key gateway between Russia and the Asia-Pacific region. It handles both domestic and international flights, including wide-body aircraft (A330, B777, Il-96), which adds diversity to long-haul operations. Including VVO would expand the game’s network in East Asia, provide realistic traffic for Russian and Asian airlines, and offer players the opportunity to manage a dual-use airport with both civilian and military operations.
It would include an active Russian region in the game, expanding the map and adding more diversity to the playable territory.
