Ivalion International Airport, (IVX/KIVX) is the primary airport serving Ivalion, Califia, the second-most populated metropolitan area of Ivalice. It is often referred to by its IATA airport code IVX, with the letters usually pronounced individually. IVX is located in northwest of Ivalion in the small community of Hooper, 16 miles from the downtown core.
With 16,152,040 passengers in 2009, IVX is Ivalice's third busiest airport and is served by direct flights to four continents. The airport is a major hub for IvalAir and IvalAir-Skyline and a focus city for Eastern Airlines. The airport also functions as joint civil-military facility, providing a base for the Ivalician Air Forces.
IVX is the busiest airport in Califia in terms of flight operations, passenger traffic and air cargo activity, followed by Saint James International Airport (SJM).
Because of its vast size and relatively low population density, the Ivalion Regional Agglomeration depends on a loose network of regional airports, with Ivalion International being the primary long-haul international gateway, Saint James International being the main international gateway for the Americas, with some flights to Western Europe, and domestic flights divided between the two International airports and three smaller regional airports.
First proposed in February 2015, the high-speed rail project Iva-Link aims to connect Terminal 1 with downtown Ivalion. The contract for completing the project was awarded to the government owned industrial conglomerate IVARtex, and work is expected to commence by April 2017. By its expected completion in 2022, it will be projected to cut travel times in half, and remove up to 30,000 vehicles from the roads.
