And now we wait for somebody to mention the fact 767s can fly to INN.
Probably won’t be able to in game tho cause that would mean they would have to be M
Maybe 762
The 762 is severely pushing it
What I love about LHR is that I will never run out of crew and space for my fleet and everything goes out in 45 - 60 mins, whereas in BKK, I would need double the time to handle a similar amount of planes.
I don’t handle AI contracts anymore, though, so it not being full and the diversity of contracts don’t matter to me.
I see a lot of complaints on certain occasions here, I play all the airports per day by saying all from Innsbruck to Sydney since I don’t have BKK yet But I can say that all the airports of the game are great each one with its own way of working and if you know how to manage them you will do very well, Empty LHR? My LHR always stops full, LEJ has a variety of M and L contracts more the cargo airline that DHL and Aerologic are based in you wouldn’t expect to find any others that are also there, SXM is also a beautiful airport its filming somewhat resembles real life, Bari beautiful airport like Prague, I think that if you manage the airports well you will have fun. But I have no complaints on the contrary, for me they are great and mine are always full.They are all full as in real life and with a wide variety of airlines leaving and entering every moment. NGO is beautiful, that airport was the first on my list of favorites until I opened LHR, I do not share certain opinions here but I respect them.
My favorite way to play LHR was to land planes overnight while I slept using tower manager, and then handle them while I drank my morning coffee and in spurts throughout the day lol
I’m gonna be honest with all airport bottom to top
12: BKK: don’t have it so can’t make a decision (not rated)
11: SXM: The worst airport in the game, lack of X and L gates, awful backtrack (takes like 5 minutes for a L to get off the runway) very bad taxiway design takes like 2 or 3 minutes for a L to line up
Good scenary but thats the only good thing (everything else ugly piece of ****)
10: SAN: very dated airport (from 2020 or 2021) and didn’t update it, alright L and X stands, 1 runway for a M airport with lots of stands so it’s can be crowded
9: IAD: doesn’t look good compared to real life (especially the terminals) 1 landing runway is not good enough for a busy airport
8: SYD: Same thing at IAD with runways and to make it worse 1 runway is used for landings and takeoffs so empty airport also LACK, OF S AND M PLAYER CONNECTIONS.
7: NGO: Pretty boring but is now not at 9 or 10 since it now has M connections so that’s a positive other then that nothing else
6: MCT: Alright airport for runways both are takeoffs and landing so that’s a plus but a lack of scenary really makes it boring to play (also camera angles are not in the best spot)
5: INN: Great starter airport and pretty spectacular scenary but only 11 stands so that’s meh but a good airport for players who started a game and to get there hands on the game!
4: PRG: lots of airlines from around Europe (one of the best in fact) but taxi times to some gates are a bit meh to be honest (also love that DC3 departure and Airport PRG throwback very unique)
3: LEJ: 2 runways for takeoff and landing, brilliant cargo stands looks good, but 2 issues, 1 lack of L/X passengers stands and 2 very long taxi times (especially to the passenger terminal)
2: BRI: looks like a holiday airport in Europe (tho FUE, AGP, FAO or ACE are better but anyway) very unique stands (only one in the game to be honest) and pretty fun helicopter to watch at the airport and Terminal view which looks very nice
1: LHR: the best in the game (tho I would prefer seeing MAN or DUB in the game then this but anyway) almost all stands are L and X a very high amount of X/L slots to airlines across the globe, very good player connections.
Call me bias but that is my honest opinion.
That is probably better then my own list
Probably…
Ok definitely
The contrast between us
I’ll put my say on this:
12- SXM
This would be higher if the backtrack for L and X was shorter.
11- INN
The most scenic airport in the game by miles, nice and relaxing to play but not much going on.
10- SAN
Far too little L and X stands and gets crowded easily.
9- PRG
The taxi system alone puts it down 4-5 spots, would most likely be a top 3 if it was faster.
8- SYD
Played off a friends phone, seems like a good airport as a whole. Don’t own this.
7- IAD
Good and fun to play but lacks detail.
6- LEJ
Good for a chilled out evening playing session, especially in winter with deicing.
5- NGO
Underrated airport, flows really well and stands are close to runways.
4- LHR
Overall a great airport, maybe a tad of bias being a brit.
(Maybe being a bit harsh here, but I wish more detail was put into this (e.g. stand numbers, ‘HSBC’ branding on the jetbridges) but I get it’s for memory purposes.)
3- MCT
New taxi system has dramatically increased my liking for this airport. Great traffic flow now.
2- BRI
My favourite airport up until the latest update, such a unique and fun airport to play. Many player contacts from all over my Alliance are here.
1- BKK
Only just got started but I can tell that this is something new and incredible, my only concern is that my phone may implode once I unlock all stands.
Ngl thats the thing that annoys me the most about lhr and syd…
SXM enjoyers unite!
As I said, I disagree with some opinions, but I respect them.For me all airports are great, and as I said if you know how to manage them and you know how to acquire the right contracts you will see that they will always be alive, all mine from Innsbruck to Sydney.they stop full, a plane leaves, another plane arrives, just like in real life.
With the IAD rework and the MSY release i think i should rerank these
13 - INN - good starter but pointless after that
12 - BRI - good flow and a nice design makes this interesting
11 - SXM - very unique but the long runway taxi time ruins it
10 - SAN - amazing flow but only 6 X/L stands makes it hard to grind
9 - MSY - the new SAN two runways and more stands but only 7 L/X is bad
8 - PRG - close to MSY and SAN but the new extra L stand helps alot as it now has 10 L/X, would be a top 5 but thw flow ruins it
7 - LEJ - unique airport with a cool concept but more M cargo is needed other than DHL
6 - SYD - All around average airport with good flow, will support the new GRU well
5 - IAD - the remodel helped a lot making this airport much prettier and has the best flow in the game, still a boring layout though
4 - LHR - best moneymaker but gets repetitive
3 - NGO - unique airport with unique contracts, also makes a good cargo airport
2 - MCT - amazing flow with a cool design and good contracts. Desert airport also is a first
1 - BKK - amazing flow with 3 runways but the taxi time can be annoying, has a food
Inn gets a lot of hate but is a beautiful airport. Meanwhile, mct at second is… slightly confusing….
Lol
Airport rankings: because we did them before and it’s time we update them
Unranked:
BKK: been grinding for so long I finally bought it with GP today but have yet to play it, cannot grade it
LEJ: I reset this airport before 2.0 and have yet to even touch it since
Ranking, top is worst, bottom is best
SAN: poor quality, low amount of D stands in an area that has the most 757s of anywhere in the game
NGO: poor quality, but at least it’s got decent contracts
MCT: as nice as it’s hi-flow playstyle is, I cannot get past the jetbridges on this one, I love the airport, hate the quality
SXM: the taxi times kill it, but with the new combined stands it’s a lot nice, the singular D+ cargo stand really kills 757f operations though
GRU: shared stand hell, literally no stands that are D+ only
MSY: similar issue to GRU but far less egregious in terms of amount of shared stands
PRG: taxi times kill it
LHR: you can put a twin otter at A380 capable gates, WHY?
INN: good airport to sit back and chill, love the new addition of the 767 capable stand, it’s just small
BRI: It exists? Not really much happens here that’s of note
IAD: similar issue to SAN with the 757s but the traffic flow makes up for it by a lot, and also number of D+ stands
SYD: Location is a major issue, otherwise a great airport
