Terminals
Terminal 1
Terminal 1 was in operation at Svorgas International Airport, constructed in 2012. The Terminal building is reachable via a rapid train to Svorgas, whilst a light railway operates within it. There is a check-in area and security located here, after which passengers wait for their flight's gates to open in the departure's lounge, where they are surrounded by a duty-free area, with its own restaurants and bookshops, with food and literature from across Micras available. After this, passengers make their way to the light transit railway (Senyan: Ralya Tranzen lit). The light rail stops at the Terminal, Gates 1–20 (Zone A), Gates 21–40 (Zone B), and Gates 41–60 (Zone C). Passengers on private planes get off at Zone C and proceed to Zone D (Gates 61–75) on a special bus. After this, passengers wait for boarding, and once their plane starts boarding, they go on them. Zones A and B have jetways to the plane's main door, whilst at Zone C passengers must walk to the planes and up onto them via mobile stairs (lifts available for disabled passengers). Arriving at Terminal 1 is straight forwards, with passengers leaving their planes and onto shuttle busses, which take them to the arrivals sector, where there are eight passport zones; three for Senyan citizens and five for foreign visitors. After clearing passport control, passengers collect their luggage, from which they can either go to the railway station, go outside of the airport to the bus station and car collection, or alternatively go back to departures to make a connecting flight.
