The Default Test Airport Design Contest 
As some of you may have seen, Alpha 30 currently deployed on the experimental version features a new button for visiting a “test airport”. While we’re currently busy overhauling the game’s tutorial with @Alexander’s new interactive tutorial panel with the purpose of easing in new CEOs to the job, we’ve through various sources of feedback realized that the game could benefit a lot from having a well functioning and beautifully designed airport that you quickly can jump into to see how it’s supposed to be done! 
We initially intended to build this airport ourselves, but a fellow CEO alerted us to the fact that there are many, many talented airport architects (obviously) within the community and perhaps they wanted to have a stab at the task at hand!
We are therefore launching the default test airport design contests with a chance to win the epic honor of having your airport immortalized in Airport CEO, and also three Airport CEO Steam keys to share with your friends where you conveniently then can show off your own airport design from the main menu!
The Design Rules 
The airport must…
-
Using the map tool, be placed on land in an area where it would be reasonable for an airport to be built
-
Have a suitable and fictional, airport name and CEO name
-
Be well optimized and have no major delays or other operational issues (meaning enough staff, enough vehicles, a good layout, enough check-in desks and so forth) - occasional delays are fine
-
Have enough transit capacity with bus stops, car stops and at least one subway entrance
-
Have exactly four terminal adjacent small stands and two terminal adjacent medium stands (non-remote) for commercial flights
-
Have exactly one remote small stand and one remote medium stand for commercial flights
-
Have a functioning and enabled baggage system with all scanner types, conveyor belt types, a baggage claim area and so forth
-
Have a few GA stands whose operation do not impact the overall performance of the airport
-
Have a suitable amount of bathroom and staff rooms and at least one food room and one shop room with active contracts
-
Be beautifully built with a lot of decoration, varied seating, color combinations, floor types and more
-
Support both Avgas 100LL and Jet A1 re-fueling services
-
Have a nice office for the CEO
-
Have several flights planned with the auto-planner feature enabled
-
Not be excessive in size or capacity (it should run well on low-tier computers)
-
Not contain any mods
