Operations and Infrastructure
Overview
The airport has one terminal without any gates, nor departure/arrival halls. As a minor regional airport, the airport does not have the funding by the National Airports Authroity for gates, but does have a small enterance to the tarmac, where passengers may board their flights via an airstair.
DBRA has low passenger numbers, so the airport only operates on Mondays and Fridays only. As controllers are only available twice a week. The airport has a small snack cart, and has washrooms, as well as a small parking lot outside, and a bus service to the village.
Terminal Building
The terminal building is considerably large for an infrastructure in Mattress Village. Although a recreational center, there is only a small snack cart that serves snacks.
There is no departure/arrival halls, simply a one-storey hall with ticketing booths and a digital flight-timing screens. A total of 15 check-in counters are scattered throughout the hall. An indigo-colored flooring is implemented for a soothing effect, along with the fact that most of the planes are colored either purple, white or grey.
Commercial air service
The airport is served by a limited, and seasonal route, operated by SkyJet Flyer to South Pole City's Metro Airport. Passengers must check-in, and go through security screening, which has much looser regulations than those of larger airports. Until 2008, commercial air service was banned due to pollution laws. This ban was thus lifted. Other airlines, such as CP Airways and PenguinConnection and planning to start limited service, with a flight operating every three weeks.
Recreational Facilities
A small playground is located outside of the airport. The playground is usually deserted, as well as the open field beside it. Chicks usually prefer staying inside the airport than playing at the playground, a survey conducted in 2008 has shown.
Other than that, there is probably nothing else at the airport, with the exception of the recreational flights.
