My City has been successful and it's time they built an airport. Consists of 3 levels and lots of staff members, including cabin crew members, pilots, and baggage sorters! This version is now disassembled and is being rebuilt on less baseplates but more features like four gates rather than six (it takes up lots of space), and a first-class lounge.

Departures Tour
Tennis players have a passion for traveling....
Long lines everywhere...
Finally! You put your bags on the brown scale to weigh them, then the bags go to a nearby chamber. Your passport also gets stamped and the check-in worker hands all the passengers a boarding pass showing their seat, gate, boarding time, and more. "Your plane is on gate 2. Have a nice trip!"
Your smaller bags get scanned in the X-ray machine. YOU get scanned in the metal detector.
Once done, you go up an elevator to the third floor where you can have a coffee break while you wait for the announcer to call your plane.
The chamber where your baggages are sorted and put onto the correct plane.
A duty free store on the ground floor still under construction...
Announcer: "Flight 219 is boarding at gate 2." Running like mad...
In gates 1, 2, and 4, you go down a staircase...
...and you go to an air bridge which leads you to the... "Your attention please. The plane at gate 2 has been cancelled due to another plane from another airline landing at gate 1 by accident and crashing into gate 2's plane."
Arrivals Tour
If your plane lands at a gate with an air bridge, you go out and NOT up the staircase, but straight and right and straight and right again to the elevator that takes you down to the first floor.
There, you get your passport checked at customs...
..claim your baggages...
...and leave the airport! If you're catching a connecting flight, go to the transfer path which takes you to the checkin area.
My
Other Notes
If your plane departs at gate 3, 5, or 6, you go through a little passage (not an air bridge) where you go down an elevator from the top floor all the way to the ground. You catch a special truck that acts like a bus, that takes you to the plane.
If you arrive to the city, get off the plane. If you see a truck, get on it. You are taken to customs area on the truck.
