The airport is partly based on the [[wikipedia:Los Angeles International Airport|Los Angeles International's]] (LAX) building

A fire station is situated near the entrance to the rear of the airport, as such, a [[Fire Truck]] is always available from there. Opposite, is a car park which has various randomly spawned cars. In the airport itself, many [[Unique Stunt Jumps|unique stunt jumps]] can be found. The infamous half-winged [[Dodo]] is also in one of the hangars and next to a helipad, notorious for it's level of skill required of the player to actually fly it.
The airport's interior makes a brief appearance in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]. This interior is in the [[Hidden Interiors Universe]] and also has an unseen exterior with a roadway, which appears to resemble the airport's exterior in [[Grand Theft Auto III]].

Note that the pre-flight bar is called DODOS, a reference to the half-winged Dodo parked in the airports runway.

The airport is based on [[wikipedia:TWA Flight Center|terminal 5]] at [[wikipedia:John F. Kennedy International Airport|J.F.K. Airport]] in New York City, while the runway design emulates that of [[wp:LaGuardia Airport|LaGuardia Airport]], also in New York. It is bordered to the north, south, and east by an unnamed body of water; the [[Broker-Dukes Expressway]] to the northwest ([[Meadows Park]]); Tudor Street to the west ([[Willis]]); and Saratoga Avenue to the west ([[Beechwood City]]). 
Francis International Airport is Liberty City's largest district in terms of land area. The airport is serviced mostly by [[FlyUS]] and their fleet of Boeing 747's, and a handful of [[Shamal]] based airplanes, which seem to be the airport's only air traffic. Found around the airport are signs for "AdiosAir", however this is only indication of a rival airline. Three [[Annihilator]] helicopters parked on three helipads can be flown in [[multiplayer]]. In single player, one Annihilator is found once the player has killed all 200 flying rats. Upon entering the runway or certain inner grounds of the airport, the player receives a four star [[Wanted Level in GTA IV|wanted level]] and a fleet of [[NOOSE Cruiser]]s or [[NOOSE Patriot]]s, [[FIB Buffalo]]s and [[Enforcer|NOOSE Enforcers]] will give chase and stop the player with whatever means necessary.
FIA has several Bombardier CRJ-100 jets parked nearest the helipads and southern most entrance; some in flyUS' express theme, some are private business jets from various countries
In GTA Chinatown Wars, entering the runway does not give the player any wanted level. None of the airplanes have any logos on them. Airplanes including large jumbo jets and small private jets can be seen taking off and landing on the runways but they don't move from or to the taxiways.
===Points of interest===
Within the airport's boundaries are a police precinct just off the Broker-Dukes Expressway, south of the Willis access road, as well as a fire department, just south of the passenger terminal.
===Transport===
[[Image:38.png|right|100px]]
The [[3/8 Broker Line]] runs through the [[Francis International Airport LTA|Francis International Airport]] station, providing arrivals to the city with quick travel to the rest of the city and departures easy and convenient access to the airport.
From the road, the most convenient access to the Airport is offered by expressway exits. Both the Broker-Dukes Expressway and the Algonquin-Dukes Expressway possess exits to FIA. There is also an access road from Willis; this can be reached from Tudor Street.
