In [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars]], '''Francis International Airport''' (FIA) is an airport situated in [[Dukes]], [[Liberty City in GTA IV Era|Liberty City]]. The airport takes its name from an [[Francis International Airport, Shoreside Vale|older rendition of the airport]] in an [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|older rendition of Liberty City]], but is otherwise completely redesigned.

It is bordered to the north, south, and east by the ocean; the [[Broker-Dukes Expressway]] to the northwest ([[Meadows Park]]); Tudor Street to the west ([[Willis]]); and Saratoga Avenue to the west ([[Beechwood City]]).

== Description ==
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 both [[Liberty City]]'s largest (in land area terms) and most easterly neighborhood. Francis International is even larger than other large city districts such as [[Acter Industrial Park]] and [[Alderney City]] in [[Alderney]].

The airport is serviced mostly by [[FlyUS]] and their fleet of Boeing 747's (which seem to be the airport's only air traffic), and a handful of [[Shamal]]-based planes. Found around the airport are signs for "AdiosAir", however this is only indication of a rival airline. FIA has several jets (similar to Bombardier CRJ-100's) parked nearest the helipads and southern most entrance; some in FlyUS' express theme, some are private business jets from various countries. 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|flying rats]]. [[Hangman's NOOSE]] always start here (see article for details). Also, [[Team Deathmatch]] games can be started here. If one is started, make a B-line for the choppers. If you can't fly them, make sure no enemies gets inside of them.

Upon entering the runway or certain inner grounds of the airport during single player, 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.

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.
