KARASTADT INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (IATA: KSX)
Karastadt is a major city in the Federal Republic of Westria/Bundesrepublik Westereich, located in the Pacific Ocean roughly halfway between Mexico and Hawaii.
Lately Karastadt International has undergone a complete rebuild, owing to some geographical oversights. (Apparently it's not a good idea to build a runway facing a large hill; a fact lost to me until I looked at the region map and cursed) Runway 13/31 was dug up and replaced by runway 4/22. A new perimeter road and fencing were put in place and a completely new cargo terminal and private aviation ops building have been completed at bottom right.

A closer look at the terminals - international with U.S. customs pre-screening at top and left; domestic flights on the right. Ground traffic is controlled from the tower on the main body of the building. KSX isn't an overly large or busy airport, serving roughly 11.5 million passengers annually. Direct flights to major cities on all continents except Africa arrive daily.

Cathay Pacific's new fleet of A350-900's opened up KSX's first non-stop to HKG (Chek Lap Kok - Hong Kong)

Air Canada serves KSX from Vancouver (A320/737MAX8) and Toronto; this 787-8's destination.

A couple of other frequent visitors to KSX are Lufthansa's A350-900's (here in it's brand new colours) and Air New Zealand's 787-9. A Titan Airways 747-8i joins them at international terminal 2.

Westjet and Lufthansa are two other international airlines serving KSX. Westjet from Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver and Toronto and Lufthansa from Frankfurt. This 747-400 is on final for runway 4, just about to cross the perimeter road while one of Westjet's 787-9's holds short.

KSX has a medium-sized cargo operations field, serving Asian, Australasian and North American destinations. No direct flights to Europe are as yet in place as demand doesn't warrant a 777F on any route. KSX's location on the southwest coast of Westria puts it beyond the direct range of almost all other cargo aircraft from Europe.

An unusual sight for KSX are two chartered GTI (Atlas Air) 748F's waiting for their loadout on the apron.

Private and regional aviation are also served by KSX, albeit in a separate area from the main terminal. Low-cost regional airlines can avoid higher gate fees and bidding for slots by utilizing the private aviation terminals to the west of the cargo ops. Maintenance for all airliners are performed at the hangars seen here.

That's it for KSX! Hope you enjoyed.
