VALERIA PORT AURORA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
Gate way to the northern frontier
Valeria Port Aurora International Airport is located just 3km from the city of Valeria Port Aurora, and is believed to be the worlds most northerly international airport. From its humble behinings in the late 1940s right through the present day, Valeria Port Aurora International Airport has been keeping one step ahead of the geography.
Stepping inside the Airport, the first thig that greets you is space, Lots of space, which combined with soft tone lighting with a blue tint to it, and with the heat rising to top of the airport building, the glass does not get covered in ice or snow, allowing passengers to look up during the periods of polar night and see one of natures most spectacular phenomena, the Aurora Boralis or Nothern Lights, a spectacular lightshow put on in the upper atmosphere where the solar wind strikes the upper atmosphere, making it glow. It is these lights that have given the Aurora Confederacy its name.

In the 1970s Valeria Port Aurora was given a life extention upgrade as aircraft became heavier, its small runway of 3km was extended to its current length of 6.2km, slightly longer than Peace Valley International. However it has an additional 1500m of over-run length at each end beyond the threshold markings of the runway, with a further 500m of softcrete capture material beyond that to capture an aircraft that has been unable to stop in the runway distance. Valeria's softcrete runway is designed to work in the same way that a sand trap works for automobiles on escape roads, yet allows a fire fighting and rescue tender to drive on the material safely. This makes the worlds most northerly airport runway one of the safest runways, and one of the longest with 9.2km between the emergency capture zones. As well as being one of the worlds longest runways, Valeria Port Aurora runway is also 270m wide, over twice the width of some of the largest wingspanned aircraft, such as the Genesis C3000 (130.6m span) and the Antonov 225 (88m wingspan).
Valeria Port Aurora International Airport has 2 terminals, known simply as Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. Terminal 1, together the two terminal give the airport a U-shape appearance, with the control tower located to the soutth, looking into the U shaped parking area. At the base of the U-shapped building is the departure check in foyer where passengers arriving for flights arrive to check in, each side of the departures are the two arrivals lounges with baggage collect.
