Francis International Airport

Francis International Airport ( FIA ) is a international airport serving the Liberty City metropolitian area in Liberty State, United States. It is located on the shore of Shoreside Vale and was originally named the Shoreside Airfield up to 1953, when it was bought by the city government and made into a official and international airport.

History
The Shoreside Airfield was opened in 1917 and was owned by James J. Lyndon, a local flight enthusiast from Cedar Grove. Lyndon was a rich man and funded the private airport with $500 000 dollars. Many of his friends and others alike, used the airport with his permission. In 1951, the city government bought the property from James for $10 million, and started building Francis International Airport on the same site. Runways were paved and were made longer, cheap terminal buildings and hangars were erected and during June 1953, the airport was opened.

In 1985, the airport got a upgrade and the main terminal was rebuilt and runways were re-paved. Several areas of the airport were also rebuilt. A tall structure was also built upon the terminal.
