The Benacian Chrysean Airport is Chryse's only airport, located in the outskirts of Oakburgh. It is a large and busy airport with four runways which serves diplomats to the Benacian Union and Micras Treaty Organisation, businessmen, tourists, etc. Heavily damaged during the Battle of Chryse in 1690 after most scheduled services were cancelled.

Built in 1662 and named "Royal Chrysean Airport" by the Iron Company, it was renamed Kaiser Verion II International Airport (after self-proclaimed "Kaiser" Verion II, and nicknamed KVIIIA and Kvia after its abbreviation. Renamed once more to Imperial Chrysean Airport during Isor Isor's unpopular Deverionisation campaign in 1685. The nickname "Kvia" stuck nonetheless, and was a common Chrysean term for the airport. Examples of use are adverts saying "Fly to Eliria via Kvia", and "The world is open to you, via Kvia". It was once again renamed as the Benacian Chrysean Airport in mid-1699 AN

The airport was expanded in 1672, 1678, 1682, and in 1687.

A regular scheduled service to the outside world was restored in 1703 AN by an inaugural flight of the Greater Elwynnese Airlines to Tirlar.
