Airchester Airfield (ACA) is an airfield located in Airchester. The airport is located in Airchester South near ES6 and C26 on the MRT Eastern and Circle lines, respectively. The airfield was constructed by Cortesi and is managed by Punta Airport Company.
The airfield serves as the secondary airport for Airchester, behind Epsilon International Airport.
History
As there was one airport per city rule, Airchester Airfield was originally constructed to be a small private airport. After the airport closed, it was acquired by CaptainChimpy who turned it into a heliport facility for Eastern Airways Heli Lines, resulting in the entire terminal being rebuilt. The heliport was exclusive to Eastern Airways Heli Lines.
On December 30, 2017, the heliport was closed. The current helicopter flights were moved to the nearby Epsilon International Airport. The Airchester Airport Company bought and transformed the heliport into an airport again. The goal of rebuilding the airport was to accommodate new airlines that were not given gates at Epsilon International Airport or that needed gates for their flights. The airport's terminal was rebuilt and new gate was added.
From 2017 on, new gates and a seaplane terminal with two seaplane gates were added to the airport. RacCort transferred his assets, including ownership of the airport, to kyle11231 on June 17, 2021.
