About Terminals
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.
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 game, the construction costs may be recovered through the money saved in reduced gate rental fees.
Once you have built a terminal, all flights from that airport will move into the terminal. If there are more flights than new terminal can handle, the rest of the flights will remain in your rented gates.
For example, if you have 5 rented gates and 50 flights (using 50 slots) out of your focus city, and you build a terminal with 5 gates, then all 50 flights will move into your terminal, leaving you with the 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.
Building Terminals
In order to build a terminal, you must have a base established at the airport. A new terminal must be built with at least five gates, and the cost of building a gate is significantly more than normal renting of gates. For every ten gates you build at once, one rented gate will be returned automatically.
Terminals can be purchased by clicking on the Build Terminal link under the Operations menu or via the link from the View Gates page. The focus cities where you haven't built a terminal are listed together with the minimum build cost - i.e. the cost of a new, five-gate terminal. Use the drop down menu to select a focus city where to build your terminal.
Once you have selected a focus city to build a terminal at, you will be directed to the Build a Terminal page.
You can adjust the number of terminal gates you want to build by using the Gates to Build text field; however, remember that a minimum of 5 must be built in a new terminal. If you adjust the number of gates to be built, you can click on Submit to see how much it will cost. Once satisfied with your selections, click on Build Terminal.
Extending Terminals
If you wish to add additional terminal gates, terminals can be extended by clicking on the Build Terminal link under the Operations menu or via the link from the View Gates page. By selecting an airport from the Extend a Terminal drop-down menu, you will be redirected to the build page for that airport.
You can adjust the number of terminal gates you want to build by using the Gates to Build text field. If you adjust the number of gates to be built, you can click on Submit to see how much it will cost. Once satisfied with your selections, click on Build Terminal.
Just like when building a new terminal, for every ten gates you build at once, one rented gate will be returned automatically.
Reducing Terminals
Reducing terminals removes one or more gates at your terminal. It can be that you don't need them any more or that you are closing the base at that airport.
If you wish to reduce a terminal, go to View Gates and click on the Reduce Terminal button. You will be presented with all your airports with terminals and drop down menus allowing you to select the amount of terminal gates to be returned.
When you have selected the amount of gates you want to return, click on Return
Miscellaneous
- If you need fewer than five gates at an airport but still want a terminal, it is possible to build five gates and immediately return some of them. You will still pay the full construction costs, but you will save on gate rental fees.
- While a terminal can only be built at one of your bases, you can keep the terminal after you have closed that base. It is not possible to extend the terminal, but it is, however, possible to rent new gates.
- There are no discounts for building many gates at once.
