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.

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'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]].
