Airport Name and ICAO/IATA Code
Vancouver International Airport (ICAO: CYVR / IATA: YVR)
Location (City, Country)
Vancouver, Canada
Airport Type & Size
Major trans-pacific hub with 3 runways, supports A380, 25M pax/year, lots of cargo diversity and also seaplanes.
Why should this airport be added to World of Airports?
This airport would be good because it would allow for seaplanes like the DHC-2 to be added in the game, and would have probably some of the best looking scenery in the game probably like modern architecture, the Rockies, and the Pacific Ocean. Its looks very good at night because of said modern architecture It also has a pretty big De-Icing center so this airport could be the first one to actually have planes taxiing to the de-icing spot instead of doing it at the gate. It was also ranked North Americas best airport for Iām pretty sure 25 years in a row but has come second behind Seattle in the last two years. It was also ranked a top 10 airport in the world a couple times. Plus it would also make sense for North America because we already have a Central America airport, we already have 3 U.S. airports, so it would kind of make sense for Canada to come next, and I think this is the best option.
