It is the busiest airport in Gandhara and the third busiest airport in [[Outernatia]] in terms of passengers, handling just under 54 million passengers in 2016. | | '''Rhea International Airport''' ([[Wikipedia:Arabic|Arabic]]: {{lang|ar|nocat=true|مطار آل ريا ة الدولي}}, ''Maṭār al-Reyāh al-Dawlyy'') ([[Wikipedia:International Air Transport Association airport code|IATA]]: '''RIA''', [[Wikipedia:International Civil Aviation Organization airport code|ICAO]]: '''OGRA''') is an [[Wikipedia:International airport|international airport]] serving [[Rhea]], the capital of [[Gandhara]]. It is located {{convert|23|km|mi}} northeast of Rhea's city center, in the municipality of [[Jamalabad]], [[Sadat Governorate|Sadat]]. |
| | |
| The airport is the [[Wikipedia:Airline hub|hub]] and primary maintenance base for [[Gandhara Airways]], and also serves as a base for [[A+ Airlines]], [[Air Nura]], [[Freehan Airways]], [[Kimmy Airlines]], and [[Lost Islands Airways]]. Over ninety airlines operate out of the airport, with non-stop or direct flights to destinations across Aurora, [[Internatia]], and Outernatia.

| ==History==
| |
| ===Early years===
| |
| Originally named Mensurabad Airport, after the nearby village of [[Mensurabad]], the airport opened on 30 July 1933 as a military airbase. Civil aviation started in June 1936 when Gandhara Airwork, the predecessor of Gandhara Airways, commenced operations and the airport eventually lost its military role completely. A new terminal was completed in 1949 and it was decided that the airport would become the primary airport of Gandhara. The airport was renamed to Rhea International Airport in 1967.
| |
| | |
| Since 1992, the airport is owned and operated by RIA Group [[Sharikat al-Mossahamah|S.A.M.]], with the Gandhari Ministry of Finance holding 57.36% of the shares, while the [[Wikipedia:Municipality|municipalities]] of Rhea (20.02%) and Jamalabad (14.62%), and private investors (8.00%) hold the rest of the shares.
| |
| | |
| ===Development since the 2000s===
| |
| The construction of a new Air Traffic Control tower was completed in 2001. The tower is 56.9 m (187 ft) high and it has an area of 1,100 m² (11,840 sq ft).
| |
| | |
| Since 2003, the aircraft ground handling company [[Safar Aviation Services]] has its head office at the grounds of Rhea International Airport. The company is part of the [[Transoceanic Aviation Group]] (TAG), a [[Wikipedia:Multinational corporation|multinational]] airline [[Wikipedia:Holding company|holding company]] that has its head office at Rhea International Airport as well.

| |
| | |
| ===Terminal===
| |
| Rhea International Airport uses a one-terminal concept, meaning that all its facilities are located under a single roof. Transit passengers have their luggage automatically transferred to their connecting flight, and they usually need a short walk to the next gate. The terminal itself consists of three sections or halls, designated 1, 2, and 3. These halls are connected, it is possible on both sides of the security or border inspection to walk from between piers, even if the piers are located at different halls.
| |
| | |
| The airport has a wide range of shops and restaurants as a source of revenue and as an additional attraction for passengers.
| |
| | |
| ====Departure Hall 1====
| |
| Departure Hall 1 consists of piers B, C, and D. Pier B exclusively handles domestic flights within Gandhara, while piers C and D are used for domestic flights and flights within Outernatia. [[Lettucian Airlines]] and [[Rainfall Airways]] typically operate out of pier C. Piers B and D have 14 gates each, and pier C has 21 gates.
| |
| | |
| ====Departure Hall 2====
| |
| Departure Hall 2 consists of piers E and F.
| |
| | |
| Pier E is the largest pier and has two levels. The lower floor handles flights within Outernatia and the upper floor is used for transoceanic flights to Internatia and Aurora. The pier has 78 gates. The gates on the lower floor are numbered E-1 to E-39, while the gates on the upper floor are numbered E-40 to E-78.
| |
| | |
| Pier F is dedicated to transoceanic flights to Internatia and has 14 gates. It is typically home to [[Tikata|Tikatan]] airline A+ Airlines.
| |
| | |
| ====Departure Hall 3====
| |
| Departure Hall 3 consists of piers G and H. Pier G has 8 gates and is typically dominated by airlines that have a [[Wikipedia:Codeshare agreement|code sharing partnership]] with Gandhara Airways, such as Kimmy Airlines, and the Transoceanic Aviation Group-airlines Freehan Airways and Lost Islands Airways. Due to the large amount of flights to [[Kimmystan]], the gate is nicknamed "Kimmystan gate". Pier H has 13 gates and is able to handle widebody aircraft, such as Gandhara Airways' [[Wikipedia:Airbus A380|Airbus A380-800]].
| |
| | |
| ===Runways===
| |
| Rhea International Airport has three [[Wikipedia:Runway|runways]] that are all used in two directions. Runway 01/19 is 4,002 m × 60 m (13,130 ft × 197 ft), 09/27 is 3,925 m × 60 m (12,877 ft × 197 ft), and 08/26 is 3,862 m × 60 m (12,671 ft × 197 ft).
