Aeroporto General Di Ravello is a fictional airport for Just Cause 3. It is situated in the same position as the unnamed airport in Maestrale is in the playable game.
Description[]
It is the largest settlement in Medici by far, even larger than the capital city Citate Di Ravello. Compared to the original runway in Maestrale, Aeroporto General Di Ravello contains a much longer runway, estimated at around 2200m long as well as a large taxiway spanning its length.
It is the sole purpose-built international airport in Medici and the headquarters for Aria Medicia.
Although mostly inaccessible to the player, the terminal can be seen with moderate size and a rather modern circular glass design. The terminal contains five gates situated around this point, as well as a branch leading off to where smaller propellor aircraft are positioned. About two thirds of the circle terminal is given away for an equally circular road entrance on two levels with a fountain in the centre. Beyond this are large swaths of parking lots and a large hotel-like building.
On the other side of the runway to the terminal is a ramp allocated to the Medici Military. It's made up of three large hangars big enough to contain a U41 Ptakojester alongside a circle of five smaller hangars containing various jets, in a design similar to many real world air force bases. On the large asphalt area are rows of marked remote stands, often spawning helicopters or small-medium sized planes.
Much of the previously prevalent hills and features to the south, east and west of the airport have been moved or removed entirely to make way for the settlement.
The western edge of the runway now hangs over the sea, with the access road to Porto Tridente passing under the runway in a method similar to many real world airports. Much of the hills and railway infrastructure to the east has been cleared away to make room for incoming aircraft.
The in game description is as follows:
"Although Aria Medicia's base was held here since 1923, a new state of the art international hub was built in its place during Dante's reign, all the credit stolen under the weight Di Ravello's ego. It now stands as Medici's gateway to the outside world, for both legal and very illegal activities".
One can determine from this description that the airport once had a name different to the one given in-game. The age of the airport also suggests it was constructed around 10 years after another nearby airport, Vulture, a rather modern and resource consumptive air base, especially for the time frame mentioned.
