History
The airport was built in 2005 after Club Penguin Island was established, and less traders on the SABER came to Yow Kingdom. King Alexander funded 10,000 Gold Coins to construct the airport. The airport was completed a month later, and was actually very small compared to its current state. The architect of the airport named it after Alexander, and even including a large painting of him on one of the walls. It only had four runways, and two terminals. There was a small hanger included, and a McDoodles placed in the airport. When the airport started to get over crowded Alexander funded to expand the airport by adding six runways, six terminals, and five more hangers. He also made half of the airport a military air base.
