FIA does not have a single inspiration for its design, incorporating an original terminal design (the frontal terminal building is a largely unadorned, blocky structure), as well as featuring an extension similar to [[wp:Los Angeles International Airport|Los Angeles International's]] [[wp:Theme Building|Theme Building]]. Francis International is also connected to the [[Subway in GTA III|Liberty City Subway]], via a [[Shoreside Terminal LCS|stop located southeast of the main terminal]] and an adjoining square that features a [[Liberty City War Memorial|sculpture]] bearing the following inscription: "For those who fought for freedom 1936". | FIA does not have a single inspiration for its design, incorporating an original terminal design (the frontal terminal building is a largely unadorned, blocky structure), as well as featuring an extension similar to [[wp:Los Angeles International Airport|Los Angeles International's]] [[wp:Theme Building|Theme 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 spawned cars. 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. | A fire station is situated near the entrance to the rear of the airport, as such, a [[Fire Truck]] is always available from there.

The airport's interior makes a brief appearance in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], when it is featured during the [[First Mission (GTA SA)|first cutscene of the game]]. While the interior is found to be situated in the [[Hidden Interiors Universe]], the location also comes with an unused exterior of the airport with a roadway, appearing to resemble the airport's exterior in [[Grand Theft Auto III]]. | The airport's interior makes a brief appearance in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], when it is featured during the [[First Mission (GTA SA)|first cutscene of the game]].

The airport also exists in Grand Theft Auto Advance, altrough most of it, including the runways, isn´t reachable by the player. Besides that, the player can still see (And get near) the non-enterable planes around the airport, most of them low textured planes similiar to the [[wp:Boeing 747|Boeing 747]]. There are also other small red planes around the airport resembling the [[Dodo]]. | The airport also exists in Grand Theft Auto Advance, altrough most of it, including the runways, isn´t reachable by the player.
