Midcity Van Gogh Airport

History
Old Midcity Airport
Midcity Airport was constructed in 2018. It had one runway and a road connecting directly to The Great Tayway.
New Midcity Airport
During late 2021, discussions about moving Midcity Airport began. It was discovered that Midcity would greatly benefit from a larger airport, given its growing population and growing importance in the TAY economy. On 28 January 2022, the old Midcity Airport terminal was demolished, and construction of two new terminals about 300 blocks south of the CBD started. Construction was completed on 29 January 2022, and the airport was opened to the public on the same day.
2024 Renovations
During August 2024, Midcity Airport went through a renovation program to improve the appearance and airport experience. Flynn was contracted to renovate the airport.

Terminal 1
Terminal 1 is located on the western side of the airport building, and serves international passengers. The terminal has 24 gates, all served by airbridges. Four additional bus gates, named A-D are also present.
The terminal building is split into three levels. The lower level is reserved for arrivals airside, and check in landside.
