Airports of the UMA

The Urban Matewood Area has more airports per capita than any other Delongonian city. Generally, the UMA has preferred smaller airports which can be easily accessed over larger airports with more options.

South Matewood Kondor International Airport is the largest airport in the UMA, and has the most destinations of any UMA airport by far. It also functions as a domestic airport for the northern South Matewood. It also has the greatest number of International routes by far: 76% of its traffic is international. The busiest highway in the UMA, and the third busiest in the PDRD runs between Downtown Matewood and Kondor. It receives 117,000,000 passengers annually. It opened in 1992. This airport is known for being over capacity, and tremendously catastrophic. It has low ceilings, and has been unable to undergo renovations since its construction. Every year since 2012 it has been rated as the worst major airport in the PDRD.

Lake South International Airport serves the wealthy southern areas of South Matewood. It is one of the most expensive airports in the world and is in high-demand as the UMA's luxury airport. It manages 83,000,000 passengers annually. It mostly serves domestic traffic, with a few popular routes to Los Angeles, London-Heathrow, and New York-JFK. The route between South Blix's RKBIA and Lake South is the second busiest domestic route in Delongo (after RKBIA and New London-Capital). The airport opened in 2004.

South Matewood George IV International Airport is the only airport on natural-land in the UMA. It serves all of the eastern suburbs, including Matewood Beach, Hornson, New Moore, and Newville. It also serves the northeastern portion of South Matewood. It manages 43,000,000 passengers annually. It only has one international route to Los Angeles. The airport opened in 1913 as a military airbase, and was the only airport in South Matewood until 1992.

Studio Hills International Airport is the main airport serving Studio Hills and functions primarily as a domestic airport, with one regularly schedule international route to LAX. It serves 42,000,000 passengers annually. It opened in 1982 to compete with Hornson-New Moore, then the second largest airport in the UMA.

North Matewood James Anderson International Airport is the airport serving North Matewood. It only has one scheduled international route to Toronto-Pearson. It serves 6,500,000 passengers annually. It opened in 1971.

Hornson-New Moore International Airport is a small airport serving the eastern suburbs, financed jointly by Hornson and New Moore in the 1960s, but it is located in northern New Moore. Since New Moore and Hornson diluted into Adison, Pows, and Nim since the airport was founded, the airport has faced severe funding problems. It was noted as the worst airport in the PDRD by The Delongonian in 2014. It serves 8,000,000 passengers annually, down from its peak of 25,000,000 in the mid-1980s, when it was the second largest airport in the UMA.
