It is the Primary hub for Air Willink, the countries largest carrier. It is also the hub for Willink Express, CT Airways, and Lebanon Skyroute.

Operations

The Airport is largely self-sufficient, operating within itself down to micromanagement. It is operated by Willink Air authority, which monitors and controls all major airports in the country. It makes sure all aircraft are registered, makes sure all aircraft are meeting current standards, and that the building codes are up to date. The Airport has 3 major runways running parallel, and one smaller running diagonally through those. The Major Runways are 5000 meters long and 80 meters wide, which allows them to carry nearly any passenger aircraft in existence. These runways can launch up to 85 aircraft per hour the smaller runway is principally for cargo aircraft, and is 3000 meters long and 60 meters wide. It operates up to 35 aircraft an hour.

It is the 3rd busiest airport in Haven, and the worlds 42nd busiest cargo airport. 92 International carriers provide over 900 passenger flights a day out of the airport, flying to 86 different countries.
