Airports are the main Passenger inter-city transport hubs. Unlike Seaports, they can be placed anywhere on the map if there is enough flat surface, but be warned that they emit a lot of Noise Pollution. Both the Small Airport and the Large Airport provide not only Passenger trading capacity, but also Passenger Services for a large area. There is a mod that adds freight planes and makes the airports provide freight.
Airports cost lots of cash to build, but not that much to maintain them.

The Small Airport is an inter-city transportation that helps you connect your city to other cities.
The airport has a transport capacity of 40 passengers. It's good for starters to help expand Passenger trading capacity for cities that sell lots of Offices, or Holidays, but it's relatively more expensive than establishing 2 road City Links (which would provide the same capacity, plus Freight). Its Passenger services, however, can be used to bring to life areas far from the edges of the map, and the Road city links there.

The Large Airport offers mass Transportation between your cities.
It has a very high efficiency in Passenger services, but it costs a fortune to build and maintain, and also needs a very large expanse of flat surface. Also, don't underestimate its Noise Pollution!
With the great amount of Passenger trade capacity that the Large Airport provides (240 units), you can safely assume that this would be your main capacity provider. This is the ideal sollution for Peninsular maps that don't have much Road connection capacities.
Jumbo jets as Airbus A380 (Airstars, OTW, Highston) Boeing 747 (Air Phoenix), are added to the fleet.

Future development[]
The NEXL mod is bringing some changes to Airports. You will now be able to set Airways, both for Inter-city Links, and for In-city transportation. You might even be able to connect Helipads with Airports!
