I have plans to make it a "double airport".
That can be in italy or usa...
I would place it in Montana, with small regional services

Nice layout!
That would be super cool! With all the US RJ’s that have been coming out, I’m sure you could get a really nice setup going!

A lot has changed on the airport since the last update... things have moved forward (a bit slowly) but with my new 1:400 arrival i've started planning out a few big things for the airport.
But before I get in the details of the future of the airport I will show how it is currently.
So lately I've been playing a bit with ground details like the thin black retaining strypes for the yellow lines... and I added some weathering and details.
Since I would want 4 new planes in the short future I definitely need more than 4 parking spaces so I designed a development plan.
The plans are big for the small airport, the biggest change in the form is definitely the change of runway, converting the old one to a taxiway and adding a new and wider runway to the side (45 meters wide).
Another big change is the new aproon area that will be built within the old runway and the current aprron; this will give me the opportunity to build 2 new small / medium parkings that will feature a turning radius and a new road layout.
I will also add a new parking marking in the a350 rated parking so i can use the space better for medium planes.
I have measured all the clearance needed for the planes and the gates and I have come out with the solution of having only the vertical taxi rated for the a350 to pass since i wouldn't be able to fit it on the other taxis.

Still looking quite crude, but nice to see you have an expansion project. Looking forward to see the whole thing taking shape soon!
