Simonas Elijas International Airport

==About==
Simonas Elijas International Airport is an airport located in the State of Bistonian Shingleton in territories currently occupied by a unit of the Free Bistonian Army there led by Ethelbert Morriss. One of the largest international airports in Bistonia, the airport is in a dilapidated and damaged state but partially functioning, due to the Crimsonian-Bistonian War and the battle which was fought for the entire island and the airport between pro-Bistonian militias and the Pelkian-Fahrsekian militias which were in an alliance at the time. In the currently year of 1989, the airport is largely understaffed despite its size, undergoing extensive repairs and having a majority of its glass panes boarded up.
== Construction ==
In the year of the 1960s, the State of Bistonian Shingleton was going under a major economic and tourism boom, which led to the constant flow of over hundreds of thousands of tourists who would travel to the island for vacations. Because of this, most methods of transportation in Bistonian Shingleton had been completely overrun during the summer months, and there was more demand for a completely brand new method of travelling across Bistonian Shingleton.
In 1965, the Bistonqwerty International Airport was planned to be constructed, on the island of Moylston, located in southern Bistonian Shingleton. Prior to the construction of the airport, the island of Moylston was nothing more of a rural, and disconnected island with a rural village as the only town located on the island. Prior to the 1960s, this village had been devastated by the Great Famine, in which over thousands of people had died including the majority of the villages population. Months later, an eviction notice was given towards the remaining inhabitants on the island, and they had all moved out of the village once they were provided over thousands of dollars so they could move to better places. The town's demolition was then completed, and construction on the foundation began on the Bistonqwerty International Airport. Due to the high demands for travel, the Bistonqwerty International Airport was then redesigned once again into a colossal facility, in response to the demands. 
In 1967, nearly over 2 years after construction began on the Bistonqwerty International Airport, the mile long structure was finally completed, which had cost more than over hundreds of millions of Bistonian Provis. The Bistonqwerty International Airport was colossal, as the entire facility had stretched nearly a mile, over possibly hundreds of stores available to be sold, two levels, and 4 series of terminals, and windows which were over a feet high including a massive colossal parking lot and a parking deck. The Bistonqwerty International Airport was designed in a modern way along with its smaller counterpart called the New Shingleton International Airport. More additional facilities were also built along with it, such as the Bistonqwerty International Airport Fire Station, several maintenance facilities and hangars, additional runways, and the Air Traffic Control, and finally, facilities such as the Green Line Transit System, in which the Bistonian government had controlled partially along with the St. Ark Federation.
In 1971, the Grand Moylston Hotel, was built the following year beside the massive parking lots of the Bistonqwerty International Airport, and had over 7 floors including a section for the elite such as massive suites. A tennis area, and a swimming pool with the walls coated in expensive walls. It opened 2 years later in the year of 1973.
==Federation War (1974 - 1976)==
Despite the popularity of the Bistonqwerty International Airport, its better days had not lasted long, as the St. Ark Federation declared war on the Republic of Bistonia in mid 1974. During the early phases of the war, units from the St. Ark Federation arrived to the Bistonqwerty International Airport, and had captured and seized it without fierce resistance, and the entire island of Moylston fell to the St. Ark Federation, and eventually the entire state of Bistonian Shingleton. In the year of 1975, the Bistonqwerty International Airport was temporarily converted into an airforce base by the St. Ark airforce, along with its counterpart called the New Shingleton International Airport, However, despite this, the airbase in New Shingleton was not used as much compared to the Bistonqwerty International Airport, as it had now became the main base of operations by the airforce during the Federation War. The trainstation, was then converted into an entire base for the military, using the transit system as an alternative to supply the war effort.
In 1976, following the late phases of the war, the Bistonian Armed Forces quickly seized the Bistonqwerty International Airport, after recapturing the majority of Bistonian Shingleton. The following year, the St. Ark Federation then signed an unconditional surrender, resulting in the end of the war. Following the aftermath, a majority of military equipment from the St. Ark Federation was lost, with the majority of the airforce stuck inside the Bistonqwerty International Airport.
== Aftermath (1976 - 1987) ==
Following the aftermath, the war had slightly damaged the colossal structure, and the Bistonqwerty International Airport had been completely filled with military equipment left behind and abandoned by the St. Ark Armed Forces. However, unlike their counterpart called the New Shingleton International Airport, decisions were made in which the Bistonqwerty International Airport would be reopened and restored once again, and after months of progress, it was finally reopened and transitioned back to civilian use, although the station which had belonged to the Green Line Transit System continued to be closed. On the opposite side, the New Shingleton International Airport was neglected and temporarily abandoned due to the beginning of the Federation Civil War, and reopened in the year of 1981. Due to the fear and paranoia brought on following the Federation War, the Bistonian government authorized the complete shutdown of the Bistonian section of the Green Line Transit System, and it was halted. Military equipment however continued to remain inside the sections, and would become a hazard beneath the Bistonqwerty International Airport. 
Years after the Federation War and the extensive repairs, the Bistonqwerty International Airport had managed to get back into a normal state, but it did not go back to its prewar levels, as the Federation War had resulted in the rising of terrorist attacks across the State of Bistonian Shingleton, and the island was now known as one of the most known dangerous places, as over 20 murders related to terrorism would occur on a weekly basis. Because of the levels of danger, the Bistonqwerty International Airport was forced to install extensive security systems, and increase their security personnel around the facility. This however was proven futile, as assassinations and attacks would occur around parts of the facility. In the year of 1986, one year before the beginning of the Crimsonian-Bistonian War on 20th February, immigrants from the war-torn country of Bolosella demonstrated, in which reports were unclear about the situation. 2 days prior to this, suspects from Crimsonian intelligence were detained, with motives to capture an activist which had recently fled from Crimsonia to Bistonia. They were then deported back to mainland Crimsonia. 
== Battle for Bistonqwerty International Airport (1988) ==
In July of 1987, the People's Republic of Crimsonia declared war on the Republic of Bistonia, launching an all out direct naval invasion which would encompass the entire region of West Bistonia. As a result of the war, the Bistonqwerty International Airport was temporarily closed till further notice, and the airport was left abandoned for months. In the year of 1988, the Crimsonian-Bistonian War had reached a massive peak, and millions had been already dead. Following this, separatist forces, loyal to both the St. Ark Federation and the Bistonian Socialist People's Army, seceded in the eastern regions of Bistonian Shingleton, officially beginning the Bistonian Shingleton Conflict. During the events of 1988, the Crimsonian People's Liberation Army and other aligned paramilitary groups began a mass genocide against the Lithuanian majority.
In 1988, following the aftermath of Operation Silo, and the eventual collapse of the Crimsonian collaborationist government named the Bistonian People's Republic, the remnants of the Bistonian People's Republic in Bistonian Shingleton, cooperated after a brief civil war and united once again to launch a final operation to seize the remaining territory of Bistonian Shingleton. Once the operation began, separatist forces had made significant progress which had never been achieved during their time in the Bistonian Shingleton Conflict, and had made a huge blow towards unionist forces in West Bistonian Shingleton. One of the unionist divisions, stationed just a distance away from Moylston Island, had been overwhelmed by the operation, and they were forced to retreat. However, they were suddenly cut off by separatist forces, and forced to retreat to Moylston Island. During this, their units fled south of the island while separatist forces had been chasing them. They then eventually settled into the Bistonqwerty International Airport, and separatist forces had surrounded the facility. This marked the beginning for the Battle for Bistonqwerty International Airport.
During the Battle for Bistonqwerty International Airport, separatist forces had difficulty entering the facility, as the units from the unionist factions had been heavily defending the airport. Separatist forces attempted to use grenades, and had made damage in the interiors of the facility. The units trapped inside the airport, were on the verge of starving and on the verge of surrendering, and separatist forces had made a move to enter the facility once they were weakened. However, before they could potentially win over the battle for the Bistonqwerty International Airport, the Free Bistonian Army, a faction with their branch in Bistonian Shingleton, surprised attacked exhausted separatist forces standing outside the Bistonqwerty International Airport. This forced the separatists to retreat from Moylston Island, with units from the Free Bistonian Army branch in Bistonian Shingleton capturing a majority of Moylston. Following their help, the unionists had congratulated them for their contributions, and began an alignment with them.
Following the aftermath of the Battle for Bistonqwerty International Airport, the colossal structure was most surprisingly almost in an intact condition. Despite grenades and artillery fire, the colossal structure was completely intact. However, despite this, a majority of the airports windows had been shattered as a result, and debris had been littered completely everywhere. Military equipment, which was left behind by unionist forces during the siege, would litter all across the facility. The massive parking lot beside the Bistonqwerty International Airport, had holes, rendering it completely useless. The separate facilities had suffered more damage, as the Bistonqwerty International Airport Fire Station's second floor was completely destroyed, leaving only a fraction of their facility remaining. The hangars, which had stored in planes, were destroyed following the battle, and the planes were unfortunately damaged. What had also remained intact was the electricity inside the airport, and the runways, including the diners and the gas stations. 
==1989==
In the year of 1989, the State of Bistonian Shingleton was now under the process of recovering following the defeat of separatist forces and the complete withdrawal of all Crimsonian troops from mainland Bistonia, and the near collapse of the West Bistonian Socialist Republic. The Bistonqwerty International Airport currently, was now under the process of being restored and rebuilt to its original condition, however, in an attempt to restore access to the islands, the Bistonqwerty International Airport was reopened way before work began on the facility once again. Despite the Bistonqwerty International Airport reopening, the facility remained understaffed as a result of the war, and only around 54 to 95 personnel were working. Despite Bistonian Shingleton recovering from the end of the war, communist insurgencies and terrorist attacks carried out by separatist remnants would continue, and the Free Bistonian Army would continue operating the Moylston Grand Hotel under a partial military use. The Green Line Transit System, remained closed.
