Khenas International Airport

Khenas International Airport is the airport serving Khenas City, and one of the very few international airports in Khenas. The airport is located on Airport island, near the Khenas city island. The airport serves many airlines, and is therefore widely criticised for having a low capacity.

Layout

The airport consists of a single terminal, with only 12 gates, and has the departures hall on the upper level, and the arrival's hall on the lower level. There is also a cafe and a few shops in the gate area. the Airport is linked to the city by a road bridge, and is also the eastern terminus of the Red Line of the Khenas city metro.

Criticism

Khenas International Airport is widely criticised by passengers who had to fly to, from, or through the airport, mostly based on the airports small size. The airport seems like it was designed to be a regional airport, and the terminal is very crowded with long queues at check-in, security, immigration control, and customs. Also, having only 12 gates, most flights cannot get a gate to stop at, and passengers will usually have to take a bus to their plane, and even sometimes there is not even enough buses, forcing passengers to stand in the overcrowded terminal area until there is either a jetway or bus to take them to their plane. Regulations have been made to combat this, such as only allowing passengers to be inside the waiting area if they have a flight within the next hour, of they are transferring to another flight in this airport, although this is avoided because no-one would want to spend more then one hour in such a horrible airport. However, these regulation do not fix the problem, and it is sometimes believed that they worsen it, because ever since the limit on time spent in the waiting area, the check-in area, which is even smaller, has become even more over-crowded, meaning the seats are usually all filled up, and many people are standing even though they are not going to check in their bags, and the phrase "Are you standing in the queue?" is often heard. Also, with the luggage reclaiming area being overcrowded, one cannot see what is going on in this area, and there are many reports of thieves taking other people's bags of the carousel, before the rightful owner can get past the crowd and to their luggage. The airport's many problems have earned it a reputation as one of the world's worst.
