Pipol-Rossville Airport

Pipol-Rossville Airport or Rossville Air Base lies in the town of Rossville in the municipality of Pipol and 80km away from Pipol. It used to be Pipol City's until 2010 when Pipol International opened.

History
Pipol-Rossville airport was the first airport built in Pipol when the demand for air travel was rising. The airport opened with one runway and a terminal with 8 stands. The first flight was a BOAC 707 bound for London. Very few airlines served the airport. Braathens to Oslo, Air France to Paris and Northwest Airlines to Detroit. Later the Royal Pipol Air Force was founded and used the airport for operations. They were two separate parts but still shared the same runway, similar to Bodø Airport, Norway.

The airport services remained fairly unchanged until 2004 when all airlines except British Airways stopped service the same year but British Airways downgraded their service from daily to 3 times a week and from a 767 to 737. The reason behind still remains unknown. Pipol's first airline, Crystal Air, was founded in 2009 and started services from the airport. The airport then underwent a runway upgrade and expansion and the terminal was extended to match the new capacity.

When Pipol International opened, all operations except the air force base were moved and after that It was used as a relief airport for Pipol International Airport until recently where the 30-year-old terminal was refurbished and the airport had new potential. The first flight was a Sunnyflights Boeing 737-700 to Madeira, Portugal. Late 2014 Pilvinge decide to move nearly all Caribbean/South American flights to Rossville to not congest Pipol International. Pilvinge's parent company MEC then invested in a high-speed rail between Pipol International and Pipol Rossville stopping in Pipol City. The rail is to be operated by Piporail.

Facilities
The airport has one runway with a length of 3000 meters. The newly refurbished terminal is used by Sunnyflights and a new terminal will be built for Pilvinge's flights. Regarding the expansion there has been rumors about Delta Airlines reopening the route to Detroit.
