Terminals

Building Terminals

Terminals are purchasable in the Build Terminal link under the Gates menu. Terminals allow extra gates in areas where there may be no gates left. 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.

Extending Terminals

For every 10th terminal gate built, one rented gate will immediately be returned. If you have both rented and built gates at an airport, and you have 9 built gates, and you need more slots, you are going to have to build 2 gates to accommodate for the lost rented gate.
