I’d personally like to suggest Honolulu (HNL)
I think it adds real variety to the game instead of just being another big hub.
Scenery & vibes
Ocean runways, bright blue water, and mountains in the background. It’s easily one of the most unique and good-looking airports for plane spotting.
Airport layout
The airport layout has a lot of character and feels genuinely unique, rather than the usual flat, copy-paste mega hub.
Aircraft variety
There’s a great variety of aircraft here, ranging from ANA’s A380 with special liveries to regional hops using the Cessna Grand Caravan and the Boeing 717, which today is only operated by Delta and Hawaiian Airlines.
Military ops
HNL is a joint civil-military airport, and since we already have the C-17 in the game, it would get used a lot here and actually make sense. It also feels like a good stepping stone for the devs to add more military aircraft later on
Cargo in the Pacific
It’s an important cargo stopover between the US West Coast, Asia, and the Pacific islands, which adds more planning and depth to long-haul cargo routes.
Here is a version without emojis, in case that helps put you at ease.
Yes, I used AI mainly for translation and wording, since English is not my first language and I wanted the comment to be easy to read and understand.
The emojis in my original comment were added by me manually, not generated by AI. I used them simply to avoid posting a long block of text that might look boring or hard to read.
However, I want to be clear that the main ideas and opinions are my own. I did the research myself — checking some flights on Flightradar24, as well as using Google Maps to look at airport layouts, Airport areas, and surrounding views.
And yes, all of this was also translated from my native language by AI.
in case you weren’t aware, Devblog #30: Version 3.3.0 Recap and What’s Next also uses AI for translation. It’s something that helps us a lot and is fairly common nowadays.
Lastly, AI is still useful and can help in many ways, and you’ll likely see much more of it in the future. Thank you.
