About Airport

Jets and airliners

The biggest model in the sub-theme is the Passenger Airplane (60367-1) from 2023 with 913 pieces. The 2026 set Airport with Airplane (60502-1) comes close at 887 pieces and pairs an aircraft with ground facilities. Airliners are the natural highlight of the range, but many sets also include the vehicles and staff that keep an airport running. Wings, tail fins and long fuselage sections are among the parts that make these sets recognisable.

Terminals through the years

City has returned to the airport several times. Airport (7894-1) opened the line in 2006 with 705 pieces, and a 707-piece variant, Airport - ANA Version (7894-2), followed in 2007. Airport (3182-1) from 2010 again had 705 pieces. In 2016 two larger sets arrived together: Airport Passenger Terminal (60104-1) with 694 pieces and Airport Air Show (60103-1) with 678. Each new terminal is a fresh take on the same subject rather than a re-release of an older one.

Emergency services on the apron

Safety vehicles are part of the story too. The Airport Fire Truck (60499-1) from 2026 has 691 pieces and fits neatly beside any of the terminals. If you already own several City sets, “What can I build?” on Bricoria can show which airport models are within reach of the bricks you have, and each set’s parts list tells you exactly what is still missing.

Planning an airport layout

Airports take up more room than most City sets, since a runway, terminal and aircraft all compete for space. One approach is to start with a single plane and add a terminal later, or to combine sets from different years. Cargo sets such as the freight plane and terminal fit naturally alongside, as do fire and police vehicles from other City sub-themes.
