Operated by the Greenfield Department of Aviation, and covering over 4 kilometers of land, GIA has non-stop flights to over 200 destinations in North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Oceania as of 2022.

GIA began as an airfield for manufacturing C-54 military transports during World War II. As one of the first airports developed after the war, GIA's innovative design pioneered concepts such as concourses, direct highway access to the terminal, jet bridges, and underground refueling systems. GIA became famous during the jet age, holding he distinction as one of the world's top fifty busiest airports from 1963 to 1998, reaching 21st place for the years of 1992-1998. Today it is the world's twenty-third-busiest airport, serving 22.1 million passengers in 2022. In 2019, GIA had 268,656 aircraft movements, averaging over 700 per day.

GIA also serves as the primary western hub for Skyliners Airlines, and is the companies second largest hub. GIA also holds the destinction of being the only west coast connection for multiple international connections like Hong Kong airways and Changi Airlines

Build History

0.5.3

Initial admin planning began at the end of 0.5.3.

0.5.4

The development of the Greenfield International Airport officially started in mid 2019, with the release of the plans for Los Llanos and Rockwell to the admin team by THEJESTR11. The original airport plan was nothing more then three parallel runways and a bunch of open grass space. Admin 56515 took the lead on developing a more detailed plan for the airport and eventually ended on a 2 parallel runway configuration with a crossing angled runway. from the very beginning the goal of the structure was to create an airport that didn't conform to Minecraft's grid. This meant that terminals would be at realistic angles from each other. Much of the early planning and laying out work was done by 56515. The road systems as well as the runway work was primarily done by Admins Staples and NJDaeger. Of the three terminals, it was decided that 56515 would tackle terminal 1, Staples terminal 2, and past Admin JacobKazias terminal 3. As the project developed many others assisted in the build process, especially with the interiors of terminals and the development of the cargo center. Eventually Architect Dasky joined the build team and quickly made some important changes to the airport to make it more realistic and in line with real life airports because of his real life experience. Together, with the help of the rest of the build team, Greenfield International Airport has become one of the most impressive parts of the project.
