The modern wing of the terminals features a recessed plaza which bottoms out at level 3, with skybridges at levels 1 and 2; levels 1 and 3 have road traffic with road connection between these two level possible via a ramp on the north end of the terminal, while level 2 is a strictly pedestrian level. The 1960s wing, on the other hand, has only one underground level with roadways running around the circular profile of the building. | ||

The airport boasts two runways connected by a U turn, giving the runways a U-shape. The airport's tarmac area is the also the only one in San Andreas to incorporate green lawns, which are situated between the runways. | ||
The airport is connected to multiple freeways to [[Verdant Bluffs]], [[Downtown Los Santos]] and [[Ocean Docks]].

The only interior of the airport seen, a baggage reclaim area, is only during the first cutscene of the game, and is not accessible to the player under normal gameplay.

It is also worth noting that the Shamals and the Dodo in this area are always unlocked regardless of the player's [[Pilot School]] progress, allowing the player access to an aircraft early in the game if they can get in the airport tarmac area via unusual means. | ||

This may explain the building's various structural inaccuracies when many other landmarks in GTA San Andreas are more accurate to their real-life counterparts. | ||
* The runways, like other airport runways in the game, are numbered [[69]]. | |||
* The airport's tarmac area is featured in [[TV Shows in GTA IV|television advertising]] in [[Grand Theft Auto IV|GTA IV]] for [[Patriot 500]] as a stand-in for the Patriot Beer Motor Speedway. | |||
