I know this is a city building game but airports are obviously related to cities so I'm gonna talk about it. The airport system is currently trash and here are the things I suggest to make it better.
Realistic runways and taxiways - In real life, runways have multiple planes take off and land like every five minutes, and taxiways usually have multiple planes on it, whether its for taxiing from landing or for takeoff, or going from a gate to a hangar, so I feel like having that system in TT would make it more realistic.
Terminals - having passenger terminals where planes can park at gates, pick up passengers and then take off again, and having cargo terminals where planes are park at gates, load up/drop off cargo, and then take off again, would be such a cool and realistic thing to have in TT, too bad the current gates and system we have now is doo-doo, hopefully my suggestion will make it more realistic.
Public transportation - in real life, most airport have shuttle buses that take you from one terminal to another, airport monorails (or airport people movers) that do the same thing, mainline buses that take you from the airport to the city, or metros, high speed trains, or commuter trains that take you from the airport to the city (commonly referred to airport rail links). Please add some airport public transportion, it would make airports more realistic and fun to make.
Hangars - Hangars to paint planes or to fix planes should be added, even if its not possible to be added as a functional feature, add it in as decorational feature, so it can still create a realistic touch to the airports.
Planes - the way that the planes fly is not realistic at all, they just come into the map, and when it reaches into the runway, it falls out of the sky and slams on the runway, and it taxis back and forth before taking off again. Make a system where planes realistically land, then exit the runway, taxi to the gate, and after picking passengers or cargo, make the plane push back, taxi to the runway, and make them takeoff, and then rinse and repeat. Also, planes landing in out of nowhere is not realistic, create a system where planes/flights can go from one city to another and one region to another region.
I know this is too much to ask for/suggest, but honestly the airport system is doo-doo and I wanted to find ways to improve it somehow, hope you like my suggestions.

Yes I agree, it will make theotown game more realistic and cool.
