Leedstown Hurnwick airport

Leedstown Hurnwick Airport (IATA: HUR, ICAO: EAHU), commonly known as Hurnwick, is a major airport serving Leedstown, Capital District. As of 2014, Hurnwick is the largest and busiest airport in the world.

The airport is owned and operated by Peel Airports, who also own the nearby Copperfield Airport and four airports in the United Kingdom. The Lakeside Aviation Centre, on Hurnwick property, is the headquarters of the world's largest airline, the FlyLeeds Company. Hurnwick itself is a primary hub for FlyLeeds, FlyLeeds Zero, Aer Lingus, British Airways, Singapore Airlines, and Virgin Atlantic.

Hurnwick lies twenty miles east of Leedstown and ten miles north of Melanton within the village of Hurnwick in the Capital District. It is connected to downtown Leedstown and the Copperfield Airport beyond by the Hurnwick–Copperfield High Speed Railway, a high-speed railway opened in 2014; conventional rail lines branching out from Hurnwick railway station connect the airport with other destinations within the area, including the town of Melanton. A second high-speed line, to Melanton, is set to open in 2017.

The airport has six parallel east–west runways along with ten operational terminals on a site that covers thirty square kilometres. The first terminal at the complex, Terminal 1, opened in 1958, with the last, Terminal 10, opening in April 2012. Peel Airports have announced that the airport has reached it's maximum number of terminals for the foreseeable future, and they will now focus on rebuilding the older terminals, starting with Terminal 3 in 2015.

Despite the large size of the airport, overcrowding has become a large problem for Hurnwick. As a result to increasing pressure on the airport's facilities and transport links, a second airport was opened by Peel Airports to the west of Leedstown in 2012. Handling domestic and short-haul international flights, the new airport was named Leedstown Copperfield Airport, and it successfully removed most short-haul traffic from Hurnwick.
