Sir John Barham International Airport (Intl Code: JBI) is one of the numerous large international airports serving Navarre, the immense capital metropolis of the Freethinker Commonwealth. Although relatively minor in terms of total passenger traffic compared to some of the other facilities serving the city, the location of the airport to the political and commercial heart of the Commonwealth means that there is significant demand for the limited number of gates and landing slots avaliable. The airport has undergone a significant renovation in the last few years in order to accomadate the new ACA Skyliner ultra-large passenger airliner.

JBI is a relatively rare facility in that it supports varient technology air and aerospace craft. Equipped with a state-of-the-art ATC system, advanced maintenance faculties and hardened and heat-resistant runways and taxiways, JBI is one of the few places in the world where it is possible to see gravity-propelled transatmospheric craft docking side-by-side with traditional jet-powered airliners. JBI has also been optimised for the handling and servicing of ultra-large aircraft, especially but not exclusively the Skyliner which is a familiar sight at the airport.

As well as being a commercial civilian airport, JBI is also home to the Logan Road Aircraft Factory, the final assembly plant for the ACA Skyliner. The airport often refers to itself as the "Home of the Skyliner" in light of this, and over four hundred of these mighty aircraft are built at the huge ACA plant located here every year.
