Welcome to my new Airport Design thread. I decided to put SFO on hold for a bit as I learned how to use Adobe Xd for designing. My keyboard is acting up and double spacing randomly which adds periods all the time, so I will keep this short and show mostly what I have designed so far. Taking computer into Apple tomorrow to get the keyboard checked out. which means no computer and APCEO for a bit. 
Update: Got my laptop back today from apple with a new keyboard and a few other parts and it is so much nicer to type on! WOO HOO! no more double spaces or letters! Anyhow. I worked on the lower Level 1 design today (Floor -1) after I got my computer back. You can see the design below. While my computer was gone I put together a color coding key for the airport zones. I also added that below.
Airport Info:
Albuquerque International | Sunport (ABQ)
What I have designed so far, more to be added later.
I decided to go with ABQ because the terminal is very right angled and easy to design for AirportCEO, it has a reasonable gate # (22 medium) and they do de-icing, however, there are no pads at the real ABQ. The runways and taxiways were not easy to design as they are at weird angles, so the runways and taxiways I added were designed to allow for maximum airport facility areas.
Levels (floors) - 4
Gates
- 22 medium
- 3 small (not added in design yet)
- ?? General Aviation
- ?? Charter
Runways - 3
- 2 Medium for Commercial/Charter

Franchise .json file Google Sheet
Info
Here is how I create my franchises. I have a google sheet that I input all the information into (company name, CEO name, description, Class, Type etc…). This sheet then exits all the information for me, for example the sheet:
- Takes out spaces, punctuation, and special charters in the company name and adds .json or .png to the end.
- Lets me know if the description character count is too large so I can edit it down a bit.
- Color codes everything based on business type (contractors, airlines, food, shop, bank, etc…)
- Concatenates location information into a string to add to description or file name etc…
- And more…
I then just copy and paste the edited and corrected text into the .json file find/create a logo and waaalaaa. …I have a new company!! Its pretty awesome! Here are some screen shots of my sheet.
Here are the Food and Shop Franchises I just created:
Here are some of my Contractor, Bank, AviationFuelSupplier, and Airline Companies:
