OOC: I've decided to add this for my self and others to learn about this mega-airport and keep track of what's going on at it, as we're in the middle of a massive expansion of the airport. I'd like feed back, comments, etc on VCI. Thanks!

IC:
ViZion City Internationa Airport (VCI) is ViZion's largest airport. Serving over nine million travellers daily, it makes to be among the busiest in the world. VCI is located in the western outskirts of ViZion City, a booming metropolis, with over 75 million residence within city limits.

Definitions:
What is a Mega-Sector? A Mega-Sectors houses 200 Concourses. Large enough for two amusement parks and a zoo.
What is a Sector? A Sector houses 200 terminals. Large enough to have an amusement park in them.
What is a Concourse? A Concourse houses 400 gates.
What is a Terminal? A Terminal houses 200 gates.
What is a Gate? A Gate is where the plane docks at.
What is an Arrival Runway? An Arrival Runway is a runway for flights arriving at the airport. Located on the eastern side of the airport.
What is a Departure Runway? A Departure Runway is a runway for flights departing from the airport. Located on the western side of the airport.
What is a Tower? A Tower is the communication center between the airport and the airplate.

Currently, there are eight sectors already built - two of which are for selling terminals only - with another eight being built. These are all sold out. One of these sectors has an amusement park in it.

We also currently have 125 Concources built.

We have finished adding 16 new terminals, of which none of these are part of a Sector. Six of these terminals will be for selling gates only. The whole terminal will not be for sale. The other 10 are for selling terminals only.

We currently also have 20 arrival runways, and 20 departure runways. Each runway have its own tower. There also is a single tower for the entire airport.

The airport is projected to see over 18 million travellers daily within the next 5 (NS) years!

The airport also offers places for stores, restraunts, etc. Currently, we sell small (300 square ft), medium (1000 square ft), and large (3000 square ft) plots to put a restraunt, store, etc in. You can also purchase multiple ones next to eachother to make a larger area.

We are selling areas for malls! You may buy up to 150,000 square feet for a single mall!

We also sell plots for hotels. Plot sizes are 20,000 sqare ft., 50,000 square ft., and 100,000 square ft. If you require a larger area, please tell us and we will do so and give you the new price.

Specs on VCI:
VCI covers roughly 560 square miles (larger than Los Angeles!) It is like its own city.
When the whole expansion is finished, there will be 20 arrival runways and 20 departure runways, along with their respective towers.
When the expansion is finished, there will be a total of 707,200 gates.
At that time, there will be over 800,000 employees.

Security Measures:
All vehicles (buses and taxi's included) along with walkins will be thoroughly searched, including all baggage. Again, before entering the buildings, they will be searched.

At the checkin desks, all baggages will be thoroughly searched. When checked in, travellers will head to the security checkpoints. All people will be searched, as well as the baggage. These reside right behind the check-in areas, around the wall.

As you head on into a mega-sector, sector, concourse, or terminal, again, the same search will happen. Once again, it will happen at the gate before entering onto the flight.

When picking up your checkin bags, they will be checked before you leave the enclosed area to make sure they are yours. At the same place, you will go through strict customs, not allowing any food or beverages past that point. (Domestic flights go through a seperate area.)

All airlines are required to agree to the following, or will be banned from flighting to ViZion: Required Security Measures (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=360277).

There are also two VCI police/security stations per Mega-Sector and one per Sector.

Transportation/Convenience/Comfort:
A massive subway system links the entire airport, from one end of the terminal to the other, from one part of the Sector to another. There are also moving sidewalks, courtesy vans that will drive you to where you need to go.

VCITS (ViZion City International Transport System) all that, and more. The physicly handicapped will be driven to where they need to go. Once you're cleared through all security, you will take the subway to one of three locations: Taxi/Bus pickups, car rentals, or car/van pickups. Those walking off will be taking to the car/van pickup area.

Expansion Plans:
We are working on plans to expand our national rail system into VCI, along with ViZion City's own localRAIL, a recently completely rebuild monorail system. We are also planning to build a hospital to serve the airport.

Construction Updates:
We have begun construction on the last four sectors and eight mega-sectors - buyers wanted! We are now begining to construct the final fifty terminals, and these terminals are for sale.

Did you purchase a Mega-Sector, Sector, Concourse, or Terminal?
If so, tell us what you've done to customize it! Did you add a zoo? Maybe an amusement park. Possibly a 50-screen theater? Whatever you've done to it, tell us how you've customzed it!

All airlines coming into this airport (and all others within ViZion) have agreed to meet our minimum security measures here: Required Security Measures (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=360277) They may go above and beyond, but that is the minimum.

If you wish to purchase something, then Purchase something here! (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=7312606#post7312606)

In our concourse, we have actually finished a mural celebrating Xenizen achevements. It actually looks kinda nice. We also have marble tilings on the floor, and a lounge with a jacuzzi, an arcade with any game you can think of, and a Jumbotron with all major game consoles hooked onto it, a bar, spaces for LAN parties, access to all the anime you could ever want, and high-speed internet access. We also have a food court, we have a five star Japanese restaurant, an all you can eat Chinese buffet, a library with rare docments, an art museum with original bronze sculptures and a whole lot more......

Obviously, we have strict security. X-rays and other such things have been implemented. If possible, may we install a National Police post in our concourse? Security's tight, but we'd like to increase it, to be safe.

The two sectors we have acquired are currently being converted into a landing/berthing area for some of our up-and-coming space capable craft, while the several concourses, along with a good portion of the open land we have acquired in our deal, are being converted into repair bays and parts storage for some of the more specialized equipment required in the maintenance of such craft.

The terminals we have acquired will fulfill their normal purpose, as per usual functioning standards, but we have modified some aspects of the layout to be more difficult to infiltrate by outside elements.

Of the remaining land area we have procured, we have established our embassy to I.V., along with several storefronts for Godulan businesses such as Godulan Robotics and Godulan Alloy and Steel Inc. Two hotels, one five-star and one for the more financially frugal, have also been established, and the remaining area is to be kept aside for the next thing we can think of.

The new "Harmonie Triple" luxury hotel has just opened her doors. Operated by the Blue Song company, this hyper-luxerious hotel is among the most expensive in the airport... yet at the expense comes great luxery. Putting even the fanciest 5-Star hotels to shame, Harmonie Triple has several large swimming pools, a large casino, a restuarnt manned by some of the best culinary minds in Neo Tyr, a spa and fitness center, a large bar and meetingplace, a casual dining center, day care, and that just scratches the surface. Located in the heart of the airport, "Harmonie Triple" is one of the best hotels money can buy in this city-in-an-airport.

hangar (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=8183707&posted=1#post8183707)

we would like to turn the interior into a gigantic roman bath house of the utmost opulence, we will serve champagne + caviar (beluga) + smoked fish all free of charge, the staff will arrange for fitting by bespoke tailors should the guest request so, we wish that the exterior give no indication as to the amazing opulence that awaits inside, we beleive we can justify the enormous expense in that it will act as a catylist between businessman of WPHD & foreign business interest

...gay boyfriends.

Vizier Voyate Shumash ben Allen announced with construction on the Vastivan International Concourse one third completed, revenues from improved flights through Vizion space had increased by two hundred percent.

VAS Gyrafalcons have been deployed in the airport to escort passenger planes in and out as the situation there remains destabilized.

The mall space and the Mega-sector purchased by the Siapian Business Coalition will be developed into a massive complex involving multiple stories of luxury housing, shopping, and gambling. There will be a track for horse, grehound, and three-toed sloth races, and there will be the largest Internet-Euchre network provided by Siap Tribune Media Services.
