The airport consists of two terminals with Terminal 1 being used as an international and domestic terminal consisting of twelve gates (plus a "Sky Tram" that connects the airport with the city of New Pyrus) and Terminal 2 that is used as the private terminal of the genovian government, with two hangers one holding the monarch/Prime Minister's private jets and another holding escort aircraft of the Genovian Airforce.
