Port Sebelsti International Airport

Nakoof-Port Sebelsti International Airport, (IATA: PSB, ICAO: OSSB) also called Port Sebelsti International Airport is a major international airport located in the city of Port Sebelsti, in Zone 30 of Port Sebelsti. It is one of two airports serving the Federal Capital District of Sebelsti, the other being Nakoof-Capital Region International Airport. It is located west of Nakoof, and sits 9 km away from the city centre of Port Sebelsti. The airport sits on a 8 square kilometer facility, and was designed to relieve congestion on the Nakoof International Airport.

The airport was opened on the 7th of May 2022 and full operations commenced on 10 August 2022. PineWood Builders was the main contractor and architect for the airport. The airport is owned by the Sebelsti Air Force and is operated by Capital Region Airports, a concession owned by TesGroup and SebelstAir.

History

In 2006, planning for a Port Sebelsti airport had begun, with a site outside of the city being selected that same year. In 2007, construction was set to begin, but stopped due to financial issues. The site was leased by the government, to use as a temporary shelter for nearly 5,000 refugees from the DSWN, as a part of the Open Sebelsti program. The shelter was closed in 2015, and in 2016, the airport plan was revived. In 2019, construction officially began, progressing through the pandemic. In 2021, it was revealed that the main terminal’s exterior had been finished, and the airport would open in December 2021, but it was delayed until May of that year. Cargo operations commenced in November 2021, with the first flight arriving on the 17th of that month.

Inauguration and Issues

When the airport first opened on May 7, 2022, the airport saw an opening flight to Sudūs, chartered by SebelstAir. However, only a few unscheduled flights were using the airport at that time, as it was not complete. The new Airport Highway opened in July 2022, a month before the airport fully opened. However, in November 2022, after the airport had been officially opened for a month, the airport was temporarily shut down due to an electrical problem that caused the airport’s computers and lights to randomly shut off, leading the emergency lights to shut on and off. It was discovered that contractors wired the fuse system improperly and was closed until January 2023 to correct the faults, however, only four months later, in April 2023, cracks were spotted inside of a basement area of the airport. After a four week closure, it had been announced that these were caused by issues with the equipment during construction, and the building was safe to use, after a independent audit by Bloxington Coast University’s engineering department. In 2024, a 19 million Robux lawsuit was filed against TesGroup and Capital Region Airports over improper construction. It was settled out of court and the two companies agreed to rectify any issues related to the airport’s construction.

Facilities

The airport has two 11,000 foot parallel runways located on either side of the apron, both are capable of receiving large aircraft. The main terminal has 20 gates, connected to the landside pre-security terminal by an automated people mover line. There is a 7 pad heliport located adjacent to the main terminal, which opened in 2024. There are 15 spaces for parking aircraft, as well as a 2,100 square meter cargo terminal with five berths for loading. A 120 meter tall air traffic control tower sits connected to the terminal. The site also includes a private jet terminal capable of receiving up to 7 private jets at a time, as well as over 30 administrative and maintenance facilities and hangars. Also, there is a 12,100 foot runway located adjacent to the airport used for military purposes.

Military Use

The Port Sebelsti Air Command is located here, and occupies a 3 story building located near the south part of the airport. The Sebelsti Air Force Squadron No. 8 and 10 are also located onsite. At least 28 Ras-39 Oofen jets are stored here, as well as a modified Roeing 747 which is used as SebelstAir One , the main presidential aircraft of Sebelsti. A set of 18 Wrex-295 bombers and 2 Wrex-90 refueling aircraft are stationed here.

Public Reception

When the airport first opened, it was originally criticized for its high cost and lack of passengers. However, data from the Nakoof University show that wait times at Nakoof International Airport decreased dramatically after the opening of Port Sebelsti International Airport. However, this has largely been attributed to the switch from using Nakoof’s airport as a cargo hub, to Port Sebelsti. As of 2026, the airport only sees around 21 departures per day, compared to Nakoof, which has over 80-100 departures per day^[1]. According to an investigation by RBC, the airport is intentionally “overbuilt”, as the government wants to move over 70% of international flights to the Federal Capital District to the airport.
