Very nice series so far, really like your airport concept. Some things I noticed and one or two suggestions: (sorry if it gets long) - The baggage security secure zone for your Helis has no security exit, thus it wont work because employees wont enter zones without an exit. - You could have one baggage bay for all your 6 Heli pads together (the Bay should be able to accomodate all 6) in the place where you have the baggage security for the Helis. This has several advantages: your staff rooms stay nice squares ;), only one secure zone needed for the Heli baggage instead of three (one for each bay and one for the baggage check), you use the otherwise mostly unusable space (cant place most buildings there) below the Bridge to the upper Terminals. - something I always do when I have a need for high security througput like you have at the beginning of your bridge to the Terminals: one level 1 security station at the side for Staff only and the large stations passanger only. It is small, needs negleble staff, your staff get in secure zones faster because they dont have to wait in line with the passangers, even passangers get in a little faster because no staff in their lines. So lots of advantages with hardly any disadvantages. - I really like your concept with the one way only taxiway loops around the terminals, but I think it causes you "plane traffic jams" wich cause some of the delays you experience. Im not entirely sure about this because to be sure I would have to observe this for some time and thats not really possible with only the video footage you show. What I think happens is the following: on each of your loops the game allows only one moving plane (or only one moving inbound and one moving outbound plane) (speculation: could be because the game allows only one moving plane between taxiway intersections, and intersections to stands dont count because they dont provide an alternative path for the plane). I have seen that if a plane moves on a loop no other plane will leave its stand, even if the other plane is almost a full loop away (can be seen with the emergency plane at 9:25). Likewise it seems that once a plane moves on the loop no other plane can enter it. And if that happens to a plane en route to your international terminal (like at 31:45) even the planes wich want to go to the other terminal have to wait behind it because there is no other way. You have two Runways but only one taxiway wich in most situations would be enough but with the waiting times to enter the loops it looks like one taxiway is not enough and thus you get "plane traffic jams". As I said I could be wrong about this and even if Im not I dont really see an easy solution/fix for this exept maybe for doubling the taxiway above yor terminals for overtaking opportunities but there is not really space for that.
Thank you! I'm really enjoying this layout, very happy with how it's turning out. And thank you so much for the feedback! I'll try to address all of your points. - I fixed the security exit off camera haha, I didn't even think about it at the time. - 1 baggage bag probably would have been fine and I didn't really consider that but I opted for 2 so there would be less travel time for the baggage trucks and also because I wanted the baggage claims to be split into 2. - I have the central one set to staff only, but youre absolutely right it could have just been a small one, it's just so much easier now to leave it as a large one since I'm not really worried about staffing costs. - The taxiways do get a little jammed up but they tend to clear quite quickly, I think it's a pretty efficient solution considering the space restrictions, it's more congested than I'd like but overall not too bad!
Maybe switch the direction of the taxiways for your international terminal - This way the planes turn into the terminal at the first possible option and the planes does not have to wait for other planes to turn out in front of them.
Instead of a depo, try build vehicle carpark, think they can be built underground or under terminal. They hold fewer vehicles but think that's the advantage of using them.
I think the catering Issue might be related to the contract you signed, you get a specified number of catering items per day from the supplier, my guess is you probably just have too little catering supplies to satisfy all the aircraft at your airport each day. Basically you run out of supplies before the end of the day, the way to fix this could be signing 1-2 more contracts or just signing a contract that supplies more each day.
Hello Panda, I love the series. You might want to get more catering trucks. Like double the number of stands you have. That would resolve your issue, I think.

love this series bro, keep it up!
Thanks! Will do!
Awsome videos, my favorite series on youtube at the moment.
I hope everything plays out for your channel you deserve it.
Thanks so much! I'm glad you're enjoying it!
Security looked like every security checkpoint I’ve ever seen. lol
great stuff as always!

Oh that's good to know! I wondered what the point of them was haha

I'll double check that, but I've checked before and am sitting at practically full 99% of the time, but I'll check again!

I think I have 28 trucks, more than double haha! I'm like 95% sure it's a bug at this point.
Possible as well. 😢😢
@@ChubbyPandaGGMAlso, why not use the baggage bay that you constructed for the emergency stand.
good series! but you say its ep 15 and its 16
Woops! Thank you hahah
You can set the flight planer to auto send away delayed flights.
I'm just worried I won't notice that a flight is stuck, but I might give that a go instead!
Put chair in security check
Neowwwwwww
