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. | Francis International Airport is Liberty City's largest district in terms of land area.
