Plavit International Airport
The national airport of Plavit was originally conceived as a private airport for the town of Plavit, North of Plavit. The owner later sold the terrain to the town hall, by a total of 240.000 US Dollars, and from then, the airport has grown and grown until reaching its current size, being the biggest airport in the Mediterranean Sea.
Terminals:
The airport has a total of 5 terminals, three of which are very close one to another and can also be considered a huge, united, terminal. Regional and national flights usually arrive at terminals 1 (red)and 2 (yellow), but can also arrive at terminal 4 (blue). Terminal 4 is the typical terminal in which passengers arrive to a stand far away and then have to take a bus to get to the main terminal itself. Then, some people prefer to go by the internal train system to terminal 3, in which is located a big parking lot and a nice highway connection, while other people prefer to take The metro connection to line 12, which leads to downtown Plavit. International flights usually arrive at terminals 3 and 5, as they are the newest ones and have better and bigger infrastructure.Statistics
It is estimated that a plane arrives in the airport every 70 seconds. While other airports are used to delays and cancelled flights, in Plavit airport those things never happen. Yudonians are known to be very strict and obsessed with order, and so, each plane has a very small window of 2 minutes to land once a flight controller operator delivers the authorization for landing. If the plane doesn't touch the runway in those 2 minutes, the landing will be cancelled, and will ne redirected to what is known as runway 0.Runway 0
This runway is a very old and rustic runway, hated by most aviators, known to be a challenge to land in, as it has lots of bumps and patches that make landing a difficult process. Runway 0 doesn't appear in most maps of the airport, but in reality it is located North of Runway 22, just North of terminal 4. When a plane doesn't arrive at Plavit on the 2 minute window that air traffic controllers give, the flight's landing will be then redirected to Runway 0, as also as Runway zero's radio channel. Planes on runway zero are then put on a waiting list, where they will be then given a 3 minute window to land. If a plane fails to land in those 3 minutes, it will be sent back to the end of the line. A plane will only be admitted first if gas is running low or any problem is detected. In that case, the rest of the planes in the list will be then moved one space down, and its landing will be delayed by another 3 minutes. Once, there was a huge problem in the airport, when a plane at the bottom of Runway zero's waiting line was running out of gas, and so was given first landing priority. A minute later an emergency signal was given by an airplane that just taken off from runway 34L. The air controllers sent both planes to Runway zero's waiting line, and so the problem started. Finally, after a minute of intense chaos, both planes were given permission to land, at the same Rome, one the same runway. They had 8 minutes to do it. After both cockpits disconnected from the system by the pilots, they stablished communications between themselves, and the plan worked. The plane with low gas reduced speed and turned the nose up, making a very difficult movement by which the plane deacelerates while keeping altitude, but with the possibility of failing and chasing into the ground. The emergency plane's pilot managed to find the problem: The left wing's systems disconnected from the main system, and so the left landing gear and flaps couldn't deploy. In an act of heroism, the plane with low fuel decided to land first, and told the other plane to land their left wing on top of the right wing. Both planes ended up completely destroyed, but all 6 of the cabin members were honored with the Black and White Golden CrossRemove these ads. Join the Worldbuilders Guild
