	Use terminals to get more than 25 gates at your base or to get more gates if none are available to rent.		Use terminals to get more than 25 gates at your base or to get more gates if none are available to rent.

-Terminals allow extra gates in areas where there may be no gates left or your airline has reached the maximum 25 rented gates at that airport. In order to build a terminal, you must have a base established at the airport. A terminal has a minimum of 5 gates, and the cost of building a gate is significantly more than normal renting of gates. Terminal gates only cost 75% to maintain (their rent is therefore 25% less than regular rental fees), so if one builds a terminal early enough in the round, the construction costs may be recovered through the money saved in reduced gate rental fees.
+Use terminals to get more than 25 gates at your base or to get more gates if none are available to rent.
-Once you have built a terminal, all flights from that airport will move into the terminal. If there are more flights than new terminal gates at the airport, the remaining flights will remain in your rented gates.
+== About Terminals ==
-For example, if you have 5 rented gates and 50 flights out of your focus city, and you then build a terminal with 5 gates, then all 50 flights will move into your terminal--leaving you with 5 (rented) gates available. You can create more routes to utilize those rented gates or return a portion (or all) of them. If you want to keep all 5 rented gates, you will need to utilize at least 41 slots before the following game month to prevent them from being automatically returned.
+A terminal is your airline's own area of the airport where gates can be constructed exclusively for your airline. This can be useful in cases where there are no more gates left or if your airline has reached the cap of 25 rented gates. It is not possible to rent more gates when you have a terminal at an airport, all new gates must be built. <br>
