History
South Pole City International Airport was first planned in 2000 by the South Pole Council, since the old airport, South Pole Airstrip of South Pole City had almost reached it's full gate and terminal capacity in 2000. The Council was determined to build the airport, and was scheduled to do so in 2002, but was pushed because of the War of 2002. But, in 2005, South Pole Airstrip had closed down, because of safety concerns over the airport. The South Pole Council then decided to put money elsewhere, and had no other choice but to build another airport in Club Penguin City. In late spring of 2007, Sancho Monte Captio proposed to build the airport in an abandoned 19 sq. mile industrial area in Bonkers. The Council voted on the proposal, and voted yes. Construction on the airport started in early 2007. They built four terminals, and about four runways. The airport was finally completed with the completion of the LINK train on August 17,2009. The airport opened to the public the next day, with the first flight, MammothAir Flight 555, bound for Newton Town. The airport is now thriving and continuing to grow in size.

Accidents and Incidents
OnAugust 2, 2009, Penjet Express Flight 556, originated from Beachville and was to make a stop-over in South Pole City and continue on to Lichenblossom, then,when the aircraft, a Pengwing 737-800 was cruising at 30,000 feet,suddenly a large hole blew near the wings,about the size of a king size mattress,in the fuselage, then, the plane made an emergency landing in Bern Municipal Airport ,All 120 passengers and 5 crew on board had no injuries what so ever. This incident is still under investigation by the National Safety Board and the Federal Air Transport Board.

On September 15, 2009, MammothAir Flight 2887 was descending into South Pole City originating from Neo Domino City, when the plane crashed into a tall hill, just 30 miles away from South Pole City International Airport's Runway 18. The aircraft was an Snowing 747-400, the aircraft has 22 crew, 20 flight attendants, two pilots and 517 passengers on board. 123 were injured and are making a full recovery. The National Safety Board has condemned the pilots flying the aircraft for" Flying too low, 6,000 ft. below a recommended height of 7,220 ft." Since the hill was 1,990 feet high, most aircraft landing at Runway 18, were to fly at an altitude of 7,220 ft. in the area, but during that incident, the aircraft was at a height of 1,200 ft, due to a stall while the aircraft was making a banked turn  mostly used while arriving at Runway 18, making the aircraft hit the side of the hill, thus crashing the plane.
