-	[[Terminals]]	+	==What is a Terminal?==
-	'''What is a Terminal?'''	+
-	A terminal give you gets at any airport in your home country.(and all of the EU for European carriers after 2000) There are 2 way to get a terminal build a new one and/or buy a used one.	+	By default, your gates are leased from airports. Leased gates are subject to airport gate capacity and per-airline limits, as well as automatic confiscation of unused gates. You can optionally choose to build or buy your own terminal at an airport to get around these limits and acquire exclusive rights to all gates in the terminal. In addition, monthly fees for gates in your own terminal are half the rate of leased gates at the same airport.
-	''How to buy one?'''	+	The value of a terminals counts toward your airline assets and valuation.
-	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.	+	==When should I move to a terminal?==
		+	You may want to build a terminal if:
		+	* you have reached the leasing limit at the airport (or no more gates are available) and still want to expand
		+	* you use a large number of gates at the airport and want to lower your monthly gate fees
-	Only use the "used" terminal option if one is available at the airport you want.	+	==Acquiring a terminal==
-	'''Should I buy one?'''	+	There are two ways to acquire a terminal - build your own for a hefty one-time construction cost, or buy a terminal for sale if one is available.
-	Say YES if	+	===Building a terminal===
-	• You have money for it	+	To build a new terminal, click '''Manage Terminals''' on the left menu. Select the airport, click '''Build Terminal''', and enter the total number of gates to build in the terminal. Because all of your flights at existing leased gates will be moved to your new terminal, you must build at least the number of gates you are currently using. After reviewing the construction cost quote, click "Build Terminal" to build the terminal.
-	• You fly lots of routes out of the airport	+
-	• It is your base to low gate rental cost	+
-	• Reached leasing limit	+
-	• Part of your alliance rules	+
-	Say NO if	+	[[File:terminal_build.png]]
-	• You don’t have enough money for it	+
-	• There are plenty of gates left	+
-	• Your fly limit number of routes from that airport	+
-	'''Pros and Cons'''	+
-	Pros	+	===Buying a terminal===
-	Increases your airline value	+	To buy a terminal for sale, select the terminal from the list and click '''Buy Terminal'''. Because all of your flights at existing leased gates will be moved to your new terminal, the purchased terminal must have at least the number of gates you are currently using. Buying existing terminals for sale is usually significantly less expensive than constructing a new one of similar size.
-	Guarantees gates at your airport	+
-	Can sell if you want rid of your hub or airline is failing or cutting your airline cost	+	[[File:terminal_buy.png]]
-	Cons	+
-	Can cost a whole lot to build	+	===Expanding your terminal===
		+	To expand a terminal you already own, the process is the same as constructing a new one (see above). Be sure to enter the '''total''' number of gates after expansion, not the additional number of gates to build.
		+
		+	===Selling your terminal===
		+	You can sell a terminal you own only if you have no flights operating from that airport. To sell a terminal, click '''Manage Terminals''' on the left menu. Select the terminal you want to sell, then click "Sell Terminal".
