Snow Jose International Airport

Snow Jose International Airport (ACAO: SJE, AATA: KSJE) is a public airport located in Snow Jose, Eastshield. Located close to three major highways, Highway 880, Highway 87, and Highway 101, the airport is easily accessible from the city. Snow Jose is also one of the busiest airports in northern Eastshield, and the second busiest airport in the Snow Freezecisco Bay Area, after Snow Freezecisco International Airport, which is the busiest airport in the Snow Freezecisco Bay Area, and is located a few miles northwest of Snow Jose.

Snow Jose International Airport is also a focus airport for a few major airlines as well, and it is a hub for Air Antarctic, Skyjet Airways, and Club Penguin AirFlights, with many other airlines planning to expand their operations in the city as well. Since the Snow Jose International Airport is located close to downtown Snow Jose, buildings in downtown Snow Jose are subject to a height limitation, as defined by the Federal Antarctic Aviation Administration. However, buildings can be built higher the farther they are located from the airport.

History
The area that now is the Snow Jose International Airport was originally the site of a farm, and was purchased by a businessman in 1939 to build a runway and a hangar that would become the airport for Snow Jose. Construction on the runway and hanger began soon after and was finished in 1945, and the land was leased to a pilot, who built a building there that would serve as a flight school as well. A few years later, the businessman sold the airport to the city of Snow Jose for it to become Snow Jose's airport, and the pilot became influential in the early development of the airport.

After the city of Snow Jose bought the airport, and as Snow Jose began to grow from a town to a major city, another runway was added, and the first runway was lengthened. In the 1960s, when Snow Jose continued to expand, Terminal A was built to accommodate the new passengers that were using the airport, and Terminal B was built much later, in 1990s, when Snow Jose's population had risen exponentially since the 1960s. In the early days of the airport, Snow Jose was a stop between Kingston and Snow Freezecisco, and eventually the airport had flights to South Pole City and Inland as well.

The ongoing Antarctic Revolution and dot-com bubble burst temporarily decreased passenger traffic at the airport, but passenger traffic increased in the years after the war when the city began to grow. Because of this, a concourse, security checkpoints, and a parking structure were built in the years after the Antarctic Revolution to accommodate the large amounts of passengers that were now using the airport. Today, although less busy than the Snow Freezecisco International Airport, the Snow Jose International Airport still receives millions of passengers each year.

Terminal A
Terminal A is where the international terminal is located, but originally included the domestic terminal as well, and all flights in this terminal must go through customs and immigration. The terminal was renovated in 2009, and expanded the parking areas, security checkpoints, eating areas, and also expanded two gates to better handle the larger amount of passengers arriving and departing. The international terminal in Terminal A is where the Airport Club is located, a paid club inside a lounge with complimentary food and other amenities to enjoy while awaiting their flight.

Terminal B
Terminal B is much larger than Terminal A, and was built in the 1990s to accommodate the larger amount of passengers coming through as the city grew. The domestic terminal was moved to Terminal B from Terminal A, which used to host both terminals, after Terminal B was built. Terminal B has eating areas and checkpoints, along with natural lighting and modern art. Recently added to Terminal B, and Terminal A soon after, seats in the terminals have charging ports, for convenience but also to represent Snow Jose's modernity. The terminal also has a large concourse.

Transportation
A Light Rail line, the train system that runs through most of Snow Jose, travels from the downtown area to the airport, providing access from downtown Snow Jose. Additional train lines are planned to be added soon as well, and multiple bus lines also travel from different parts of the city to the airport. Additionally, the airport is located close to three highways, allowing for easy access from different parts of Snow Jose. Highways 87 and 880 provide direct access into Snow Jose International Airport, while Highway 101 provides access using a different road.
