'''What is a Terminal?'''

A terminal gives you more gates for a building fee in your home country, or through out the EU (If you are a EU based airline).


'''How to buy one'''

Go down your side bar to Main Menu > Manage Terminals . Then select the airport, press build terminal, enter the amount of gates you want (there will be a minimum) and click "build terminal" for the second time.

Only use the "used" terminal option if one is available at the airport you want.

'''Should I buy one?'''

Yes if:

*You have money to cover the construction costs with out going into debt.
*You fly lots of routes out of the airport
*You have reached the leasing limit (10 gates for every airport that is not a hub, 25 for hubs)
*Part of your alliance rules

No if:
*You dont have enough money for the building costs, or to pay for the terminal with out going into debt
*There are plenty of gates left 
*You do not have a hub or base at the airport, or only fly a few routes from it.

*Costs alot to build
