Eagle Air

**NOTE: This page is on an upcoming airline, therefore most of the information is speculation**

Eagle Air (Possibly Air Eagle or Eagle Airlines) is a budget airline that may appear in the upcoming AH game Airport Hero New York.

## Description

Eagle Air's official name has yet to be decided by Sonic Powered. It will either be Eagle Air, Air Eagle, or Eagle Airlines. The current concept art of the livery has no lettering on the fuselage, indicating this. It is not intended to represent American Eagle, and it will most likely not serve as a subsidiary to Air American. The livery has orange stripes on the fuselage that curve around to cover the rear of the aircraft, and the tail has an image of an eagle's head.

Very little is known about Eagle Air as it is still in the concept phase, but a few things are clear: it will be a budget airline that flies regionally around the East Coast (the first American budget airline in the series), and it will have a mostly Airbus fleet (however we aren't yet sure exactly which planes they will utilize) We don't know what destinations they will serve, or which airport their hub will be.

Air Sonic

The Boeing 777 (commonly referred to as the Triple Seven) is a twin-engine, long-haul jet airliner manufactured by Boeing.

## Description

The Boeing 777 was made to bridge the gap between the Boeing 747 and 767, and to replace older long-haul widebodies such as the McDonnell DC-10. It is the largest twinjet to date and can be identified by its unusually big engines. By the mid-2020s, the 777-8 and 777-9, the latest entries in the series, will enter service.

### History

The 777 started as a potential replacement for the 767, and was initially designed as a trijet named the 767-X. Airlines showed little interest in the 767-X, so Boeing started with a clean slate and designed the 777 instead.

Development of the 777 went fairly smoothly. It is built at Boeing's Everett plant along with the 747. The plane has a glass cockpit and fly-by-wire controls, which was not a common feature at the time of its release.

## In-Game

In the Airport Hero series, the 777 is a common plane. It is used by many long-haul airlines and tends to appear on such flights. This may include Europe to Asia, and the West Coast to Asia. Japan Lines often uses their 777s on domestic Japanese service.

## Variants

Four variants of the 777 appear in the game.

### B777-200

The 777-200 is the smaller version of the 777. It is identical in looks and capacity to the -200ER. Its lesser range and capacity makes it ideal for longer-distance domestic routes.

It is used by three airlines in the series, frequently in Airport Hero Osaka-KIX.

* Unicorn Airlines
* Japan Lines
* All Japan Airways

### B777-200ER

The 777-200ER is one of two extended-range variants of the 777-200 (the other being the -200LR, which does not appear in the series). It is commonly used on trans-Pacific routes

It is used by the following airlines.

* Unicorn Airlines
* Air Sonic
* Japan Lines

### B777-200F

The 777-200F, better known as simply the 777F, is the dedicated freighter variant of the 777. It is quite rare, only being used by one airline in one game in the series.

* Air Phoenix Cargo

### B777-300

This is the stretched version of the 777-200. It is not very common, having been outsold and outlived by the -300ER. Production of this particular model ended in 2006.

It is also rare, only used by two airlines.

* Air Euro
* Taiwan Southern Airlines

### B777-300ER

This is the extended-range version of the -300. It is the most successful version of the 777 both in the game and in the real world, with 810 units delivered. It possesses many advantages over its rival, the Airbus A330-300.

Many airlines use this versatile aircraft.

* All Japan Airways
* Japan Skylines
* Air Euro
* Korean Airways

###
Asia Express

An Asia Express 747 flies during sunset

Asia Express is a cargo airline in Airport Hero Osaka-KIX.

Not to be confused with Asia Airlines.

## Description

Asia Express is unique for being the only airline in the AH series to only appear in the Camera Stages. They do not appear in Operation Mode. They also do not represent a real-world airline.

AEX only hauls freight to Shanghai, China. Like Japan Cargo, their fleet is exclusively 747s. It is possible AEX and JPC are both operated by the same company, given their similarities

AEX planes appear in the Kansai cargo terminal with JPC. Because of this, they can follow the same path as them. Try to use runway 06R for AEX flights. If it is too crowded or the runway has closed, take 06L and use the right taxiway to get there, and be on the lookout for PHC or SAJ activity.

For AEX arrivals, 24L is the best option as this will put them at the edge of 06R, right next to the cargo terminal. Sometimes, however, the inner stalls are full and the

aircraft will need to take the outside gates, near the main taxiway. In this case, 24R or 06L left can be used, but due to the weird shape of the taxiway, the plane will have to make an awkward maneuver to get onto the main taxiway. This approach requires increased awareness for PHC flights in the area, as they have to make the same awkward turn.

## Destinations

* Shanghai, China (Shanghai Pudong Int’l Airport)
Departure Control

The channel on the ATC panel

Departure Control is a Control Frequency in Airport Hero. It shows up as green on the ATC panel.

## Control

Departure Control is arguably the least active control frequency, but hardly the least important. It guides planes as they leave the airport's airspace and on to their final destination.

### Departure

Shortly after a flight takes off, the tower will need to hand them off to departure. This happens after the plane retracts it's landing gear (Or as they are retracting in Airport Hero Osaka-KIX). There is no rush for the hand-off, eventually it will hand off automatically with a small point penalty.

Once the hand-off is complete, the pilots will immediately notify Departure that they are airborne and climbing. They will respond with brief instructions, then leave the plane off to continue it's flight. After a while, when the plane is ready to exit the airspace, Departure will approve the exit, instruct them to contact the next controller and sign off with "good day". The color on the flight info strip will disappear, and the plane will fly off the map and out of the ATC's jurisdiction.

### Go-Around

Arriving flights on go-around will also make their way through Departure. The tower will hand them off to Departure as they fly over the airport. When they are ready to turn back to the airport, Departure will hand them off to Approach Control.
Kansai North International Terminal

Azix and Unicorn flights at the North Wing

   The North International Terminal (Also known as the North Int'l Wing) is one of two international terminals at Kansai Airport in Airport Hero Osaka-KIX.

## Terminal Information

### Description

At Kansai Airport, the international section is split into two parts. The North International Terminal is part of one large building on the lower half of the airport. This building also includes the domestic terminal and the South Int'l Terminal.

The North Wing has five gates. The bridges wrap around the terminal, so there is enough space for planes to push back without worrying about causing a near miss. (This was an issue in Honolulu's terminal) There is a clear gap between its gates and the domestic terminal's gates.

### Control

This terminal is noticeably busier than the South Wing. It is close to runway 24L, making it the prime option, however due to the number of arriving flights landing on runway 06R this may not always be an option. High priority flights can head to the opposite end and take off there. For flights on 24L, watch out for JCG planes leaving the nearby hangar.

Landing and taking off from the back runways is not recommended, as this will put it in the path of Air Phoenix and Japan Sky flights.

### Airlines

The following airlines use this terminal. There are no domestic flights here.

* Sky German
* Unicorn Airlines
* All Japan Airways (international flights)
* Azix Airlines

Dynasty Airlines

A Dynasty Airlines A330 flies through the pitch-black sky, set for Taipei

   Dynasty Airlines is an international airline in Airport Hero Haneda with JAL.

## Description

Dynasty Airlines is among the international airlines that appear in Airport Hero Haneda with JAL. It bears the exact paint scheme of Taiwan Southern Airlines in Airport Hero Narita and Airport Hero Honolulu. Therefore, Dynasty is almost certainly the predecessor to Taiwan Southern, and Air Taiwan if they are related.

In-game, Dynasty Airlines aircraft only showed up during the night stages of the game as departures. Starting at the international terminal, they are able to utilize runway 05 and 16R for departure, so choose carefully if you have an arriving flight at runway 34L or runway 23.

## Destinations

* Taipei, Taiwan (Taipei Songshan Int'l Airport)
Hong Kong Bird

A Hong Kong Bird Boeing 747 jumbo jet lowers its flaps and landing gears as it nears the end of its flight from Hong Kong

### Frequency

Rare

   Hong Kong Bird is a rare airline in Airport Hero New Chitose with JAL.

## Description

Hong Kong Bird is among the three rare international airlines in Airport Hero New Chitose with JAL. Their aircraft sports a lovely regal-themed livery, notably the pattern under the "Hong Kong Bird" titles. It is loosely based off Cathay Pacific Airways.

In Operation Mode, Hong Kong Bird flies to/from Hong Kong, solely operating the Boeing 747-400. Like most airlines in-game, they arrive from the South, but they don't appear during busy times. Optimally, Hong Kong Bird flights should be directed to land at runway 01L so they don't take a long time to taxi towards the international terminal.

## Destinations

* Hong Kong, China (Chek Lap Kok Int'l Airport)
N594Z

N594Z is about to land at Honolulu

N594Z is a private aircraft and one of four in Airport Hero Honolulu.

## Description

N594Z is a C-172 Skyhawk airplane. It is mostly white with a red stripe on the fuselage and tail, and with red wingtips. It is one of the two land-based private aircraft along with N9198Z. Like all the private aircraft it conducts airborne sightseeing tours of Honolulu. It takes off, circles the area and then returns to the airport. It is not known if this is supposed to represent a real-life aircraft, an FAA search of the registration number does not uncover any similarities.

N594Z will always appear in the reserved section to the right of the cargo terminal. This is close to runway 4R/22L, meaning the aircraft can go straight from the terminal to the runway in seconds. It's once it's in the air when it starts to cause problems for players. Like the other private planes, N594Z requires a lot of attention. It will frequently contact the tower and make orders, making it difficult to deal with other planes that are also on the tower frequency. If the orders are not carried out, the plane will be delayed and the player will lose points.

It is not known but very likely that N594Z is affected by the go-around glitch.

## Destinations

* Honolulu, HI, USA (Honolulu Int'l Airport) (Used for sightseeing trips)
Control Frequency

## Control Channel

The view of the control frequency panel

The control frequencies (also referred to as control channels) are the channels that planes are controlled on in the AH series

## Description

The control frequencies are a crucial part of the game. They allow the tower to communicate and give orders to aircraft. The channels are color-coded. There are 5 control channels in AH Honolulu and AH Kansai:

* Approach Control
* Tower Control
* Ground Control
* Delivery Control
* Departure Control

 Each channel controls a specific part of the airport or a specific flight. In AH Narita, there was a sixth channel called Ramp Control that separated the taxiways from the apron of the airport. Since this channel mostly added confusion and made other channels busier, it was removed for Osaka-KIX and likely will not appear in future games.

These are short descriptions for each channel's purpose. For more information, visit the channel's full page.

### Approach Control

Approach Control is coded blue on the panel and controls all planes that are preparing to land at the airport. Their main job is to guide the plane to a runway.

### Tower Control

Tower Control is coded red and manages planes near the airport and the runways. It is Tower Control that gives landing and takeoff clearance, for example

### Ground Control

Ground Control is labeled yellow on the panel and handles all planes on the ground. In AH Narita, they only control the planes on the taxiways.

### Delivery Control

Delivery Control appears pink on the panel. They check every airplane's flight plan and clear it to depart before handing it over the ground control for pushback

### Departure Control

After a plane takes off, they are handed over from tower control to departure control. It is coded green. They watch over every plane leaving the airport until they leave the airspace

### Ramp Control

Only in AH Narita, Ramp Control manages the apron of the airport (the light gray sections near the gates). In this game, they handle pushback instead of ground control. A plane will not enter or leave the apron until they receive clearance from ramp control
N3026C

N3026C at the water gates

N3026C is one of the two seaplanes in Airport Hero Honolulu.

## Description

N3026C is a modified Cessna C-172F seaplane. It is all white except for a blue tail and wingtips. It is decorated for Air Sonic, we currently do not know why this is. Since it doesn't use Air Sonic's code or callsign, it is classified as a private plane, although it may be that the aircraft is owned or leased by Air Sonic.

N3026C is the rarest of the private planes, only appearing in two main stages and not very many camera stages. It will start in Honolulu's water terminal, with N322W. This plane is easy to control on the ground since the two seaplanes have never been reported to show up at the same time. The only issue on the ground is clogging up the tower frequency.

When it gets in the air is when it becomes a nuisance. Private planes like N3026C require frequent orders, and if the orders are not given, delays occur and the player loses points. The most important order the player needs to complete is give it landing permission, if the plane does not receive clearance and is forced to go around, the player will get a huge penalty.

N3026C has been reported to be susceptible to the Go-Around Glitch.

Feats

**Feats** (internally referred to as **Ribbons**) are challenges or specific goals that can optionally be completed in Challenge Mode or Playlist Mode if played normally. They award extra Beatpoints (used to unlock tracks) upon meeting their requirements.

## Trivia

* The most feats obtainable at once by one player is 27, with the feats *Challenge Completed; Making New Friends Bonus; Danger Zone; Speed King; Righteous; Death Wish; Team Carrier; First; Saved by the Bell; The Cheese Stands Alone; No Shape Left Behind; I'm Helping!; I Got Your Back, Buddy!; Close Shave; Fearless; BFF; Team Player(+(+)), Savior(+(+)), Hero(+(+)),* or *Show-Off; Only the Good Die Young; Aced It!; High Fives!; Huh... Guys?; Sacrifice; One More Time; Can't Catch A Break; Hang in There; Wait What;* and *Comeback Kids.*
* *Ribbon's Name* can only be gained by the other players via an unknown circumstance in which the game crashes at the end of a Challenge run song.
	+ It also gives no Beatpoints.
Go-Around Glitch

Private planes are the main type of aircraft targeted by the glitch

The Go-Around Glitch is an issue in the game that causes certain aircraft to fly out of bounds after being issued a go-around.

## The Glitch

This glitch happens only in Airport Hero Honolulu. It was fixed in the following Airport Hero games, and Hawaii's Version 1.1 Update.

### Description

It is not clear how or why the glitch happens. It appears to be random. When a flight is on it's final approach to the airport and the player issues a go-around, the flight will fly over the airport as normal, however, instead of turning back around the plane with instead head north without slowing or changing altitude. The plane will remain on the tower frequency, so contact is theoretically possible but there is no way to contact the plane during the glitch. As the plane heads off the map it will not switch to departure control and exit, it will instead remain on tower even as it goes off the map. The plane remains flying north until a game over or the level has been cleared. The plane is visible to other aircraft during the glitch, as one player proved, but no contact is possible.

### Affected aircraft

The following aircraft have been reported to been affected by the glitch

* All private aircraft. N322W has been reported to be affected the worst by the glitch
* OahuAir 717s (to be confirmed or extremely rare)

### Fixes

Currently, there is nothing that can be done to fix the glitch. Sonic Powered has not made an update or really even acknowledged it. Although some players consider it annoying because it is lost points, it does not directly affect gameplay.
N9198Z

N9198Z skims the ground as it prepares to land on runway 4L

   N9198Z is one of four private aircraft in Airport Hero Honolulu.

## Description

N9198Z (the registration number) is a PA-28 with a white and blue fuselage, orange tail, and blue wingtips. It is a private aircraft that performs sightseeing trips around Honolulu. It is unknown if N9198Z is supposed to represent a real-world aircraft. An FAA search of the registration number revealed no similarities.

Like the other land-based private planes, N9198Z will start out in the general aviation section, on the right side of the cargo terminal. This is conveniently placed next to both runway 4R/22L and 4L/22R. It will only take a minute to get the plane up in the air, but when it does is when players find them to be a nuisance. The planes frequently require orders, and if the orders aren't given quickly points are lost. The planes do not spend much time in the air either. They circle the airport, then return flying lower to prepare for landing. Their low altitude has been known to interfere with planes on the ground. Use caution when the area near the terminal is crowded.

Once they are on the ground, they usually are no longer an issue. Since they can only go on 4R/22L (4R is recommended), they will taxi straight off the runway and on to the reserved section.

It is unknown but very likely that N9198Z is susceptible to the go-around glitch.

## Destinations

* Honolulu, HI, USA (Honolulu Int'l Airport) (Used for sightseeing trips)
Japan Cargo

A JPC plane waits in a fierce storm

Japan Cargo (sometimes referred to as Japan Cargo Airlines) is a cargo airline and one of three in Airport Hero Osaka-KIX.

## Description

Japan Cargo represents real-world Nippon Cargo in the game. It is not known if they supported the game's development. They have a more colorful paint scheme for being a cargo airline. They operate flights mostly from Kansai to Tokyo. One appears from Incheon, Another one seen from an Extremely rare Kansai Camera Stage moment going from LAX.

JPC flights sit in Kansai's cargo terminal, alongside Asia Express aircraft. This position puts them near the edge of runway 06R, making that the ideal runway to use. They can use 06L as well if 06R is crowded. Planes that are on the outside gates of the terminal can use either runway depending on how many PHC flights are in the area. Since there are only two taxiways between the runways, the player needs to use caution to ensure neither one gets stuck. If there is too much traffic in the area, JPC flights should play it safe and go to the nearest runway.

JPC planes can pose a threat mid-air as well. They only use the 747, which moves faster than any other plane in the game. They should be directed to the highest altitude on approach if other aircraft are on the same course as them.

Japan Cargo appears yet again in Airport Hero New Chitose at very rare frequencies, albeit using a different code (APC), and a slightly modified tail logo, although it retains the "Japan Cargo" callsign.

Japan TransOcean Air

A JTA Boeing 737-400 preparing to depart to Ishigaki, Okinawa

   Japan TransOcean Air is a real-world airline that appears in premium/exclusive Airport Hero games.

## Description

Japan TransOcean Air is a domestic subsidiary of Japan Airlines that appeared in multiple Airport Hero games, bearing the exact livery of Japan TransOcean Air in real life.

In game (AH Haneda with JAL), JTA aircraft behave like their parent company, utilizing the same runways for departure. However, they commonly spawn in the west side of Terminal 1 (JAL terminal), so be careful when directing them for departure. In addition, JTA Aircraft appears as airserves being towed to/from their common parking spot, so watch out so it doesn't conflict with aircraft taxiing to runway 34R, and with All Japan departures.

JTA also appears as a rare airline in several editions of Airport Hero All-Stars. They often appear interchangeably with J-Air.

Naha-Premium (All Stars)

JTA will commonly appear as departures. They occupy Gates 24 Through 27, And on the Opposite side, they appear in Gates 31, and 32. Keep mind that in this game. Planes depending their size, Now have different speeds. So you will have to try to keep these planes taken off ASAP. You can choose between Runways 18, and 34. Most recommended Runway 18. As arrivals, these planes are quite slow. And would'nt be recommended by Runway 18 "OKUMA" route, as they might interfere with other aircrafts in its path like a 767, and end up in a collision. And once these planes touch the ground. The player has to put them on the nearest gate. And once they Taxi, the player has to keep a close eye on them, since they Taxi slow. So if a 777, or an F15 Fighter is behind. They have to hold.

Air Dreams

A red-colored Air Dreams Embraer E-170 being de-iced as passengers board the aircraft

### Frequency

Somewhat Common

Air Dreams is a small budget airline appearing in Airport Hero New Chitose with JAL.

## Description

Air Dreams is a somewhat rare budget airline appearing in Airport Hero New Chitose with JAL. The livery it wears is a simple one, but it's seen to appear in different colors (Red, Green, and Blue). The airline closely resembles Fuji Dream Airlines. It is the only airline in the series to have multiple liveries in one game.

In Operation Mode, Air Dreams aircraft will appear, departing/arriving to/from Matsumoto Airport using a brand new aircraft that isn't seen yet across the Airport Hero series, the Embraer E-170. As far as we know, only one other airline (J-Air) uses the E-170. Departing aircraft will appear on the Domestic Terminal, while arriving aircraft appear from the south of the airport. Due to their rare appearance, handling them should be easy without any obstructions to other traffic.

## Destinations

* Matsumoto, Chūbu, Japan (Matsumoto Airport)
Air Sonic Express

An ASC Express CRJ-200ER is airborne and on its way to Hiroshima, Japan.

Air Sonic Express (sometimes referred to as AS Express or just Express) is a minor budget airline and the low-cost subsidiary of Air Sonic in Airport Hero Narita.

## Description

Air Sonic Express is actually not an official airline. It is the budget subsidiary of Air Sonic. Because Air Sonic operates as a budget airline in AH Narita, players began to refer to them as Air Sonic Express. Azix Airlines in AH Osaka-KIX has a similar situation. Nonetheless, Air Sonic is the only airline in Airport Hero to have express and cargo subsidiaries.

Air Sonic Express is based in Komatsu, Japan, and flies domestically around the country to cities like Sendai, Hiroshima, and Sapporo (New Chitose). They have an all Bombardier fleet, including the CRJ-200ER and the DHC-8.

AS Express flights in Narita typically arrive from other places, so the player won't see them on the ground too frequently. However, the player must keep in mind when handling an Air Sonic CRJ is that they are very slow. They must be on the ground as quick as possible, so they should not be directed to farther runways, and go-arounds are out of the question unless absolutely necessary. ASC flights in Narita always start out in the same area as the budget airlines like Azix and Star Rocket.

In Camera Mode, AS Express appears more frequently as a departure, and planes can experience in-flight emergencies. The player needs to be extra cautious, as there is no way to be sure if a flight will suffer an emergency.

Ocean Cargo

An Ocean Cargo MD-11 prepares to land on runway 26L at Honolulu Airport

Ocean Cargo is a cargo airline in Airport Hero Hawaii.

## Description

Ocean Cargo is a freight hauling airline in AH Honolulu. The airline clearly represents UPS Airlines. It is unclear why Ocean Cargo looks exactly like Pacific Air Cargo, the most likely explanation is that they are a subsidiary.

Ocean Cargo is somewhat frequent, and their planes fly all over the world, going to Houston, Memphis, San Diego, Kansai, Taoyuan, Incheon, and more. You will see more OCC departures than arrivals. There will also be more diverse, far-flung destinations in the Camera Stages, including Kuala Lumpur and Singapore.

OCC flights always depart from the cargo terminal at Honolulu. The terminal only has two spots, so the player must think fast when it gets crowded, and it does somewhat frequently. There is one stage in the game where at least 40% of flights in Honolulu are cargo planes. Which is in Stage 9 in "Operation Mode".

OCC follows the principles of real cargo airlines, adding even more realism to the game. Because cargo planes don't fly as many cycles as passenger planes, the operators can use older planes (Like the MD-11, which is OCC's sole aircraft type) reliably. It has been noticed that (with the exclusion of Camera Stages) that OCC flights appear more often at night.

Aerostar Airways

An Aerostar Boeing 737-500 on approach to New Chitose

   Aerostar Airways (Аэрозвезда) is a budget airline that appears in Airport Hero New Chitose with JAL. It is the only Russian airline to ever appear in the Airport Hero 3DS series.

## Description

Aerostar Airways are among the uncommon airlines seen in Airport Hero New Chitose with JAL. The livery Aerostar wears is color-coded similar to that with the Russian flag, with the airline titling written in Russian language (only such case where an airline titling is not written in English by default), with the airline's code (AES) written on the tail in blue. Based on its nature and destination, it is likely Aerostar is based off SAT Airlines, Aurora Airlines (due to Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk hub, and SAT Airlines merged to Aurora Airlines in 2013), or maybe even Aeroflot, as there is a real-world flight by them from Sapporo to Sakhalin Island.

In Operation Mode, Aerostar operates in and to only Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk Airport. The aircraft they use is always the Boeing 737-500, departing from the international terminal, and will always arrive from the north of the airport. Therefore, depending on the winds, Aerostar flights can always land quickly at runway 19L and 19R, although taxiing to the international terminal will take a while, so plan out where an Aerostar aircraft will land carefully so it would not obstruct aircraft departing/arriving from/towards both the domestic and international terminals.

Approach Control

The approach frequency on the panel

Approach control is a control frequency channel in the AH Series. It is shown as blue on the ATC control panel.

## Control

Approach controls all flights that are coming to the airport, as the name suggests. Its main task is to guide incoming flights to a runway for landing.

When a flight approaches the airport, the pilots will contact the ATC stating their current flight data, then the player can pick a runway for them to land on. Then ATC will reply to the cockpit with the runway and instructions on what to do. When the plane nears the airport, the player will need to hand them off to tower control quickly. That is their main function, but there are several other small tasks they perform that vary depending on the game.

### Airport Hero Honolulu

In Airport Hero Honolulu, Approach's only job was to select a runway for incoming flights before handing them off to the tower. The player also had the option to hand the plane off to tower early (however they would not contact the airport until the flight was 6 miles away from the airport).

### Airport Hero Narita

In Airport Hero Narita, Approach control had a similar job, but there was now more the player could do on approach. The flight would come in as normal, but the transcript was slightly different. After a runway was chosen, the player had the option to have the plane deviate slightly from its course. This option was very useful for ensuring two flights on the same course would not run into each other (this was the first game where planes moved at different speeds, for example, a 737 would travel faster than a 767). There was also the option to reduce the aircraft's speed for a smoother landing.

When dealing with emergency landings (In Narita there was only one possible scenario), the incoming flight would quickly radio the tower calling "Mayday", and the ATC would exchange with the crew to guide the flight to a quick and safe landing.

### Airport Hero Osaka-KIX

In Airport Hero Osaka-KIX, more use was made out of approach control. AH Kansai was the first game to have defined approach vectors, so this changed the interactions between the flight and the ATC. The options to detour and reduce speed were removed and instead replaced with altitude options. Incoming planes could now be at high, mid, or low altitude. For beginners, this feature seemed useless. For those who saw stage 4 will understand how critical this could be. A 747 moves faster than most other planes in the game, so if there were a 767 with a 747 behind it, both at the high level, the 747 would eventually collide with the 767. The solution would be to lower the 767 to the mid or low level so the 747 could pass over it.

In this game, there were also more possible emergency scenarios, so the ATC control was different. The most notable one is when a plane squawks 7600 (a radio failure). The ATC will try to contact the flight, but radio will be cut and the flight will be forced to land independently.
Honolulu Commuter Terminal

Two OahuAir 717s return after hopping around the Hawaiian islands

The Honolulu (OahuAir) Commuter Terminal is a passenger terminal at Honolulu Airport in Airport Hero Honolulu.

## Terminal Information

### Description

As the name suggests, this terminal is reserved for OahuAir flights bound for other Hawaiian islands. These flights are often used for commuters.

The terminal itself is situated in the northwest pocket of the airport. It is connected to Terminal 1, but they are classified as separate terminals since only OahuAir Boeing 717s are permitted to park here. There are just four gates, and although there are (on average) 1-2 flights here per stage, this terminal seldom gets crowded.

In the real Honolulu airport, there is a regional section dedicated to island-hopping flights. In addition, since there are no budget airlines here, it is not classified as an LCC (low-cost carrier) terminal.

### Control

While this area may not get busy, it can still be difficult to control in. The main issue is that it is right next to the far busier Terminal 1. The nearest runway is 8L, which puts in the path of larger aircraft also needing to use the runway. The easiest option is to put them on runway 8L, but if it is too crowded, flights can cross 8L and proceed to 8R instead.

It requires more runway crossings, but arrivals and departures from the commuter terminal can also take the inner taxiways and use runways 4L and 4R.

### Airlines

This terminal is reserved for island flights.

Air Phoenix Cargo

A PHC 747 turns onto the strip of taxiway leading to the PHC terminal

      Air Phoenix Cargo (Often shortened to Air Phoenix, Phoenix, and PHC) is a cargo airline in Airport Hero Osaka-KIX.

## Description

Air Phoenix is different from the other cargo airlines in the game. They have a more diverse fleet and their own terminal: the PHC terminal (considered part of Kansai Airport's cargo section). This implies that they are probably larger than Japan Cargo and Asia Express They do not represent a real-world airline.

PHC uses the Boeing 747 and its variants for their services. In a few Camera Stages, there is also a Boeing 777F, the only appearance of one in the Airport Hero series. They mostly fly to San Francisco, but they also ship to Incheon, Frankfurt, Honolulu, Shanghai, and Seattle. Given their hubs in Seattle and San Francisco, they are an American company.

PHC aircraft should always go on runway 06L/24R as it is closer and usually less busy. In the event of a runway closure, which happens in a small number of Stages, they should take 06R, as 24L would be a waste of time and could cause issues. Arrivals need to be handled carefully, too. Being near the LCC terminal, there are SAJ flights constantly moving around the area, especially in the later stages. Arriving planes also have to taxi awkwardly to get into the gate. The player may need to frequently hold incoming PHC planes to allow others through.

Honolulu Terminal 1

An APA flight sits in terminal 1

Terminal 1 (also known as the Main Terminal and the North Terminal) is one of the terminals at Honolulu Airport in Airport Hero Honolulu.

## Terminal Information

### Description

While it is called Terminal 1, it is the main terminal at Honolulu Airport and one of three. It is in the north section of the airport. It also encompasses the ground service area towards the edge of the airport. It sees commercial flights and airserves.

It is a long terminal, spanning the entire north portion and is directly adjacent to runway 8R/26L. It has 10 gates and two bay-like areas. It includes the entrance of the airport. Terminal 1 is connected to the commuter terminal.

### Control

ATC control is this area is somewhat easy, but on busy days it can be a nightmare. The two "bays" have been known to cause problems, including a bug when two large aircraft are present.

Ultimately, the player must remember that there are parallel taxiways between the terminal and the runway. It is advised to treat these like a highway: have planes going in opposite directions.

### Airlines

The following airlines use Terminal 1:

* OahuAir (normal flights)
* Unicorn Airlines
* All Japan Airways
* Air Sonic
* Canada Airways
* Taiwan Southern Airlines
Hero Coins

This box will appear whenever the player earns or spends Hero Coins

Hero Coins are the in-game currency in the Airport Hero series.

## Description

Hero Coins were first introduced in Airport Hero Narita and have followed in every Airport Hero Game since.

Hero Coins are earned based on the player's rank in a stage. The ranking system goes from D to S (with S being the highest rank you can get). The higher your rank, the more coins you earn.

Hero Coins are also in Airport Hero New Chitose, but they are known as "My Tube Coins".

## How To Use

Many players in the newer games wonder what the purpose of Hero Coins are. Their purpose varies by game, but primarily they are used to access the Camera Stage feature and to unlock new camera views.

### Airport Hero Narita

First introduced in this game, Hero Coins do not play a huge role. In Operation Mode, they can be used to unlock and play the bonus stages, #14-20. The price of each stage will go up as the player progresses through them.

Hero Coins can also be used to unlock slots for Camera Stages. The link to the QR codes can be found here, and each stage slot costs 500 Hero Coins.

### Airport Hero Osaka-KIX

In AH Osaka-KIX, Hero Coins have a few more uses. They are still used to buy extra stages and camera stage slots, however, now you can buy extra camera views. The new views give the player more control over the airport, since now you can see in different angles.

The player can also use coins to buy the window views, which allow them to see out the plane's windows (left and right), as if they were onboard. This quickly became one of the favorite features of the Airport Hero series.

The issue with this is it becomes difficult to switch between camera views as there are so many. Many players are now only buying the views they need so they can cycle through quicker. This will hopefully be optimized in future games.

### Other Games

Hero Coins are present in Airport Hero Narita with ANA, Airport Hero Haneda with JAL, and Airport Hero Naha Premium. They share the same function as in Airport Hero Narita.

For the upcoming Airport Hero New York, Sonic Powered has shared their ideas on what new functions Hero Coins should have. Some ideas include the ability to purchase bonus airlines, new camera views, new gamemodes, extra control channels, new sections of the airport, and more. However, it is unlikely we will see all of these in one game.
Airport Hero All-Stars

Airport Hero All-Stars is a special AH game and one exclusive to Japan.

## Game Information

Since this game is not available outside of Japan, we will not be covering it in full.

Airport Hero All-Stars is actually a miniseries of games. It includes variants for Narita and Haneda games, and AH Naha Premium also was considered an All-Stars game. It is very notable for being the only AH game to only feature real-life airlines. Players can see ANA, Japan Airlines, China Southern, Thai Airways, Eva Air, Garuda Indonesia, Cathay Pacific, Finnair, Singapore Airlines, and more in this game. Sonic Powered was able to obtain licenses to feature these airlines in their game.

### Publisher

Nintendo

Because of this, All-Stars became one of the best-selling AH games in Japan and one of the best in the entire AH series. Fans in North America and Europe purchased the game despite it only being made for Japan. Due to its success, Sonic Powered announced that a NA/Europe version of the game would come soon.

Since neither our contributors nor the film crew has played this game, we cannot be sure of new gameplay changes. It was reported that all three versions of All-Stars have the same new weather patterns that were featured in Haneda with JAL. We do know that this game has more cargo airlines, so expect the Narita cargo terminal to be much busier.

The overall number of airlines in this game exceeds that of the airlines in the other AH games. The diversity improves the gameplay and creates a more colorful experience.

This game is only made for the Japanese version of the 3DS. Nonetheless, if you would like to play it, it is possible, but do note the game is only available in Japanese language

White Sky Airlines

A White Sky Airbus A320 pushing through the nighttime rain towards New Chitose

   White Sky Airlines is one of the budget airlines appearing in Airport Hero New Chitose with JAL

## Description

White Sky Airlines is the airline that rarely appears within Airport Hero New Chitose with JAL. The livery White Sky wears is a very pretty flower-themed livery with blue flowers on the fuselage along with a yellow wave, and a white flower on the tailfin. The airline seems to resemble Vanilla Air in real life.

In Operation Mode, White Sky Airlines arrives from the south of the airport, and consistently arrives/departs to/from Tokyo-Narita Int'l Airport using an Airbus A320, which wears a different kind of winglets, called "sharklets". This is the only fictional airline that operates an A320 equipped with sharklets. It can use both runways (01L/19R and 01R/19L), and is rarely seen appearing as a departure. The airline can only park on the LCC parking spot, so it's best to direct them to runway 01L/01R approaches when possible. As a budget airline, as quick as they arrive, they will be ready to go again after a rather short amount of time.

N322W

N322W boards on a sunny day.

N322W is a private seaplane (indicated by the "W" in its registration number) in Airport Hero Honolulu.

## Description

N322W is an LA-270 seaplane. It is mostly white, but ts has a blue nose with a black stripe, blue wingtips and pontoons, and a few blue markings on the fuselage. It is one of four private aircraft and one of two seaplanes, including N3026C, Air Sonic's custom seaplane.

N322W performs sightseeing flights just like the other private planes. It will circle Honolulu before coming back. It will appear in the two seaplane gates by the cargo terminal. The main advantage for handling N322W is that there will never be planes near it on the ground (the game's two seaplanes have never been reported at the same time) and it's so small that there's little chance of it having a near-miss with another plane in the air.

The disadvantage is that, like other private planes, N322W requires a lot of attention. It needs frequent orders, and if the orders aren't given the player loses points.

N322W is known particularly to be prone to the go-around glitch.

Kansai Domestic Terminal

Aerial view of the terminal

The domestic terminal is the designated terminal to flights to and from other Japanese cities at Kansai International Airport in Airport Hero Osaka-KIX.

## Terminal Information

### Description

The domestic terminal is located in the middle of the airport. It is flanked by the North and South international terminals. While all three terminals are part of the same building, there is a clear gap between the gates.

The building itself is larger than the international terminals. It is a sleek, modern structure with a wavy pattern in the roof. There is a pair of red trains that carry passengers along the top of the terminal.

### Control

Being at the center of the airport, controlling flights to and from the domestic terminal is far easier than the other terminals. Departing flights will appear likely more than once per stage. They can be directed to either runway 06L or 24R. Any other runway should only be used if there is crowding or an incoming emergency flight.

The same principle applies for arrivals, except there is more room for arrivals to use the outer runway since they will exit at the head of the taxiway, reducing the odds of interfering with other flights and causing a game over.

### Airlines

The following airlines use this terminal:

* Japan Lines (domestic flights)
* All Japan Airways

Asia Airlines

An Asia Airlines Airbus A330-300 en-route to Haneda Airport

Asia Airlines appears as an international airline in Airport Hero Haneda with JAL.

Not to be confused with Asia Express.

## Description

Asia Airlines is one of the few international airlines that appear in Airport Hero Haneda with JAL. Their aircraft sports a colorful livery, using pink, yellow, and blue bands. The airline is very reminiscent of Asiana Airlines.

In the game, Asia Airlines aircraft rarely appeared. When they do, they start at the international terminal and can utilize runway 05 and 16R for departure. For arriving aircraft, they can use available arrivals (runway 22, 23, and 34L/34R), but runway 34L is most optimal, as it takes less time for them to taxi to the terminal.
