I understand correctly, that now Havanna and Fly Penguin want small stands as well operating them with the new Beechcraft 1900D? So we got 2 new contracts from the beginning? Great! JUst wanted this kind of diversity in the airlines! 
Good job, devs! 
There are a couple more airline contracts with the 1900d too.
Thereās a lot I like about your concourse design. Parking lots in basement, flow segregation, efficient road system. Very nice. Will certainly use some of the ideas here.
In the other hand, it reminds me of something that bothers me on runway configuration in the game as it stands.
Runways need mandatory separation. Thereās no single airport in the world with two runways placed adjacent like that, and 3ā¦! Another unrealistic configuration Iāve seen in other posts is runways facing different directions with overlapping approach paths.
A rule of thumb is that closer parallel runways cannot do simultaneous operations. Depending on ATC and takeoff paths, one may allow landing only operations, while the other handles only take-off. Simultaneous landing really requires a very large spacing (usually runways separated by the whole terminal building in the middle.
This is one system Iād like to see upgraded in-game. Add simultaneous operations restrictions based on rubnway distance and approach paths, ATC level, ILS/IFR categories, etc. Also change of runway direction based on wind.

The Beechcraft 1900D looks very nice. Unfortunately, it does not activate extra lights when entering RWY at night like all others do. Bug report ACEO 14410 sent. Or does it have no extra lights?!

The āextra lightsā would be the landing lights which are switched on for takeoff. The 1900D is equipped with those lights.

Thanks.
I wish I could play as fast as you guys develop and
I wish you could apply [ACEO-14445] on myself too.

I think it should eb pointed out, with improvement ACEO-14465, that foundation tiles are not visible where the stairs used to be occupying while it was bigger. As this is a bug from a transition this should be handled by the players and not the devs. Simply select a floor design you want, and place it on the invisible foundation.

Thanks for this big and great update!
But Iām wondering if thereās no possibility to build entrance and exit to the jetways in separate floors. I know that from a lot of airports. If not, so thereās directly an constructional separation between arriving and departuring PAX.
An easy way to do that could be an outside staircase like in DĆ¼sseldorf/Germany:
(right hand of the jetway, on left is the entrance/exit to bus stands going out to remote stands)

Someone has probably already mentioned this but what could be nice is the ability to zone an āarrivalā area so that arriving passengers have to go there. Like we can zone a security area.

I think the design of the escalators of the conveyor belts could be much better. Itās not recognizable if it goes up or down.
And: if itās wrong, the floating arrows shouldnāt be green.
One is wrong, one is right, the only way to recognize it is watching the baggage if it runs or not:
@Manni, I disagree. It is very easy to see which is the correct direction The āflatā side of the baggage escalator ALWAYS faces towards the baggage. So, it is clear the top image left escalator was built incorrectly.
Left is wrong rightside is right
To be honest, I canāt see that too once theyāre built. I can only determine that by switching to another level and see if they are visible there or not.
I agree with that, it would be better visible
This is not true, as @Dallas and @dewitjur, the experienced conveyor belt observers, already proved.

@dallas: perhaps my optical skills are not very good, but I canāt see any āflat sideā. I see a grew square and floating green arrows. In other parts of a belt they donāt float further if thereās a wrong piece of belt.
Also I think, the game has to block building an upgoing belt escalator on floor 0 if I donāt have builded a floor 1.
In this image, my green arrow points to the flat side. The red arrow points to the curved side, where you can see a shadow.
