Airport terminals listen and respond to hail requests on the Hail communication channel. Passengers are loaded and unloaded at airport terminals. Spacecraft services are available at airport terminals, such as house keeping and extermination of vermin.

An airport terminal is essential for any colony.

Trade Connection

Airport terminals are essential for any city, they establish a trade connection with all other cities in a solar system that also have an airport terminal.

Transporter

The airport terminal has also has transporter capabilities. Using the transporter console it is possible to beam one self up to any unshielded spacecraft in range. This is especially useful to get onto newly constructed spacecraft in orbit.

The console is however unmanned, so it has to be operated manually. The airport terminal can however automatically handle beam up requests sent to it via the trade communication channel or the city's private channel.
