Infrastructure guides for airports that actually land planes.

Last updated:

Build Guide Hub

Building in Itty Bitty Airport is not cosmetic — every ATC Tower, runway, jetway, and indoor floor tile determines which planes land and how much you earn. Taco Dev’s BETA tycoon (~35 Robux) punishes pretty airports with wrong infrastructure. These build guides connect placement decisions to plane requirements and pathfinding rules.

Build topics

ATC Towers

Small → Medium → Large → Long Range (Lv8, $400K). Gates Concorde and A380.

Runways and Taxiways

Small, Medium, Large, and Water Runway classes plus taxi routing fundamentals.

Jetways and Gates

Air Stairs through Double Jetbridge — match plane tiers, control last-placed routing.

Terminal Design

Indoor tiles, concourses, multi-floor counting, capacity-efficient expansion.

Food and Comfort

Passenger amenities, PieInTheSky code tie-ins, income bonuses.

Monorail and Outside

External connections, scenic areas, avoiding taxi blockers.

Airport Layouts

Proven BETA templates from starter strips to 200-capacity megahubs.

Build order for beginners

  1. Beginner guide overview
  2. ATC towers + Runways
  3. Indoor tiles to next capacity milestone
  4. Jetways with taxi connections first
  5. Terminal design expansion
  6. Late: Food, monorail, layouts

Core build rules

Capacity: 1 indoor floor tile = 1 capacity — calculator

Pathfinding: Last placed jetway wins — taxiway guide

Verification: Plane requirements checker

Funding: Codes + how to get money

When builds fail

Planes not landing — systematic fixes

Wrong runway class for target plane

Jetbridge tier mismatch (Firefighting needs Air Stairs!)
