Windus Aura Airfield (IATA: NMW, ICAO: NMWA) is an airfield located in Nymphalia. It primarily serves the city of Nymphalia, along with other nearby towns such as Padagonia, Fort Chipewyan, and Broville. It was opened on 25 October 2021.
History
Rough plans for Windus Aura Airfield, then known as Nymphalia Windus Airfield, have existed since 2017. Initially, gate requests were done in the talk page for Nymphalia in this wiki. A planned airfield was built in the Lab World, and still exists there as of today. As Nymphalia was still a Mayor town at that point, the plans couldn't proceed forward.
After Nymphalia got Senator on 16 September 2021, formal planning had begun. The old airfield was scrapped to start from scratch. The same day, free gates were handed out to BluAir, FlyCreeper, FliHigh Airlines, KaloroAir, and Cascadia Airways (formerly FlyArctic), airlines that had remained active in some form since gate requests in 2017. The airfield was built with inspiration from other airports in the server, such as Gemstride Melodia Airfield, Ottia Cape Dios Airfield, and Caprica Airfield, as well as various airfield with underground terminals and dual terminals. Terminal 1 was built to support jetbridges, being the third airfield with them after Ottia Cape Dios and Caprica.
Gate giveaways commenced on 23 October and were allocated two days later. With the announcement of HiWorld Alliance on 24 October, the first six gates of NMW were converted to alliance gates, with the second floor of this terminal being dedicated to an alliance lounge.
