History
Seymour International Airport is an airport located in Serpens Land's capital; Fort Charlotte. At this time, it is the only airport located in Serpens Land capable of receiving international flights, although Bramber Regional Airport is currently undergoing an expansion. Seymour International was originally a Royal Serpens Land Air Force base called Seymour Airfield. It was named after Serpens Land's first prime minister; John Seymour. During the Second World War Japan invaded Serpens Land. They quickly noticed that the runway at Seymour Airfeild was not large enough to land heavy bombers and transport aircraft. During the course of the war, prisoners of war were forced to manually build a new longer runway at Seymour Airfeild. Serpens Land was recaptured by British and Commonwealth forces in 1945, and returned to the Royal Serpens Land Air Force
The first commercial aircraft landed at Seymour Airfield in 1947. In 1960, Seymour Airfield was renamed Seymour International Airport. In 1970, the current main terminal was completed.
Seymour International Airport also shares its runways with Seymour Air Base - a Royal Serpens Land Air Force air base. Seymour Air Base is home to 4, 7 and 8 Wings RSLAF. The Royal Serpens Land Air Force aerial demonstration team - The Flying Snakes are part of 4 Wing, and sometimes fly out of Seymour Air Base.
Seymour International's IATA code is FCT, and it's ICAO code is RSSZ.
