Gateway to Paradoxia
Corcaigh Nua International Airport (officially Aerfort Idirnáisiúnta Chorcaí Nua) is the largest international transport gateway to Maltropia. It is the principal air-hub for the Principality of Newmarsh and the nation's capital city, and also serves as a major connector for flights into the region of Paradoxia. In 2015, an estimated 81 million regional and domestic passengers passed through the airport, and a further 77 million international. A plethora of airlines currently operate routes from Corcaigh Nua to over 50 other countries and hundreds of destinations, making it a vital link for any international airline.
Our airport is located roughly 10 miles (16 kilometres) from Corcaigh Nua's city centre, with major motorways connecting it to the centre, port, major satellite towns and the rest of the nation. Regular trains and buses provide transportation to major transport terminals in Corcaigh Nua itself, while an internal subway system connects the airport's various terminals and enables swift transitions between international, regional and domestic flights.
Up until 1911, the site where Corcaigh Nua's leading airport now stands was an area of farms around the growing capital city. The land was bought by the government for use as a military airfield, at a time when tensions ran high between Maltropia and Nefreedia and there was fear of a war. That war never came, although Newmarsh Central Airfield saw action in August 1917 when it was attacked by republican troops during the Maltropian Civil War.
The airbase was dismantled after the civil war, and its complement of planes was transferred to new bases throughout the northwest. The site remained vacant, but government-owned, until 1938, when it was purchased by a group of local entrepreneurs who aimed to open Maltropia's first an airport. Work on Corcaigh Nua Airport first began in May 1938, but was put on hold as a result of financial difficulties. Ardencross Naval Yards, Maltropia's largest naval and civil shipwright, intervened and provided the funds necessary to continue the work. In 1940, the first commercial flight left the airport, arriving in Ardencross' dockyards several hours later. There were no runways at the destination.
Competition from the other major Maltropian cities soon lead to an extensive air transport network in the country, with rival airports opening in Sráid-bhó, Eochaill and Argensborough within the next 5 years. Corcaigh Nua International has always remained at the forefront of this burgeoning growth, closing briefly in 2011 in order to expand its regional and international facilities. In 2012, the airport soon found out that it had underestimated demand for routes to Maltropia and within months had seen its Terminal C reach capacity. Major international airline ViZionair stepped in, sponsoring the costs of a 40-gate Terminal, but even this failed to appreciate the vast increase in flights to Corcaigh Nua. In late September, following negotiations with Armstrong Construction, the Board of Directors announced that it would shortly be opening a brand new Terminal with 80 gates, making it among the largest airports in the world. Aerfort Chorcaí Nua is proud to serve Maltropia, Paradoxia and the world.
Aerfort Chorcaí Nua's current facilities are considered among the best and most innovative in the field of aerial transportation. It boasts five large, modern Terminal buildings, one designated for domestic flights, one for regional flights, and three for international, extra-regional flights. Each Terminal consists of anywhere between 35 and 80 gates, adding up to an impressive 265, all of which are fitted with equipment to allow any size of commercial passenger aircraft to dock. Most gates are equipped with a jetway for easier movement of passengers on and off the plane; given Corcaigh Nua's high levels of rain, this is also an advantage to the passengers.
Corcaigh Nua's airport was designed with efficiency in mind. Its many gates allow for more than one hundred million passengers a year to pass through the airport without causing congestion, and three runways - of as much as 4,600 metres in length - permit the landing of large aircraft. The Terminals themselves are laid out in such a way that passengers are not kept waiting in queues or for baggage. More than thirty individual baggage carousels exist in Terminal C alone, ensuring that passengers can retrieve their luggage within minutes of disembarking. The lax border-control policies of the Maltropian government mean arrivals need only endure a passport check before they exit.
For departing passengers, security is only marginally stricter. Luggage is put through a scanning machine, and passengers step through a metal detector to ensure they carry no dangerous items. A full list of items forbidden on one's person or in hand-luggage may be found to the right of this paragraph.
While many airlines serving the airport have their own outstanding contracts with fuel providers, Aerfort Chorcaí Nua meet all other airlines' fuel and petroleum needs with oil sourced from our corporate partner, Akimonadi Coalition Oil, which provides favourable rates to all airlines landing here.
Terminal E is cleaned and maintained by staff of Bindu's Cuci Cleaning Service.
