History
Beginnings
Shortly after the reopening of the bnbmc1 world in 2021, it was immediately apparent that Melanie City Discovision Intercontinental Airport was too dangerous and too small to continue being Melanie City's primary airport. On May 2021, construction began on Southwest International Airport, on an undeveloped area of Doodly Island originally intended as a residential area.
2022 Expansion
In 2022, a new international terminal was built.
2023 Expansion
On July 2023, a major expansion project was undertaken to increase capacity and bring the airport to modern standards. The entirety of Doodly Island was expanded, runways extended, and a brand new international terminal -- Terminal B --, with 10 more gates than the previous international terminal, was built.
Terminals
Melanie City Southwest International Airport has two terminals.
Terminal A (Domestic)
Terminal A, the original terminal for the airport, is located on the northern side of the facility and serves domestic passengers.
