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.
These are usually one of the first buildings constructed on a newly founded moonbase, along with the broker.
For more information on trading, see the City Trade page.
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.
The range of the transporter increases with airport terminal QL.
