The map below shows the ten busiest airports in the Confederation by passenger volume.



Gloria Libertatis International Airport is the Lendosan Confederation's largest and busiest airport, serving the country's most populous city. It is located on the southern edge of the city proper, connected to the city centre by a major highway and rail link. The large volume of traffic has put considerable strain on the airport, with landing slots and terminal space being highly sought after by airlines. Various proposals to expand the airport have been put forward, but have thus far been blocked by concerns about expense and increased aircraft noise. Increasingly, flights to Gloria Libertatis International have been supplemented by services to Santa Cabriana International Airport, a secondary airport in the west of the city. Built primarily to serve Santa Cabriana  (a formerly independent city now merged into Gloria Libertatis), Santa Cabriana International is more spacious and less expensive, but is further from the city's center. Even further out is Benali Airport, about half-way between Gloria Libertatis and the city of Benali proper - despite being planned as a municipal airport for Benali, it has increasingly been seen as an alternative airport for Gloria Libertatis, and is a major hub for low-cost airline Libertade.

Colchisia Capital International Airport is the primary airport of Colchisia, the capital of the Confederation. It is located in the north of the city, and was formerly called Caponio Airport (Caponio being one of the three cities that merged to form Colchisia). Before Caponio Airport was renamed and expanded, the largest airport of the area was Rezimano Airport, which remains open for domestic flights.

Lorentino International Airport is the primary airport of the city of Riva, the third largest city of the Confederation. It is named after Druso Lorentino, who held the title of First of Riva in the 2nd Century, and is the only major airport in the Confederation not to contain its geographic location in its name. It is the third busiest airport in Lendosa in terms of international passengers, after Gloria Libertatis and Colchisia.

Zolariza International Airport at Miriodala (so-named to distinguish it from Zolariza International Airport at Bianelia) is the primary airport of Zolariza, the Confederation's second largest city. It was built ten years ago to replace the aging airport at Bianelia, which was deemed insufficient to the city's needs.

Torasa-Quena International Airport was built to serve the "twin cities" of Torasa and Quena, in northeastern Piolsa. The airport is closer (and better connected) to Torasa, however, and the opening of a separate Quena International Airport has left Torasa-Quena International primarily serving Torasa. Many people now refer to it simply as Torasa Airport.

Tiris International Airport, Savaboda International Airport, Valarium North Airport, Lisaria Airport, and Asala International Airport are all the primary airports of their cities. (Valarium North is so-named because it replaced the now closed Valarium Airport, and both it and Lisaria Airport handle international flights despite not including "international" in their names.)
