GeminiJets is one of the world's leading manufacturers of diecast aircraft replicas. The models are sold worldwide, and sell at different prices depending on local demand. GeminiJets has also designed and manufactured two model airports and model airport accessories in its most popular scale range, 1:400. The first model airport comes with 22 jetways, various logo stickers (airlines and sponsors) and comes with lights that illuminate the interior of the terminal. The airport also includes a movable monorail system. 6 AA batteries are required for the lights, airport vehicles and model aircraft are sold separately. GeminiJets has released a smaller, newer form of this airport containing 7 jetways (one twin jetway), various major airline logo stickers, and also has the lights on the interior and exterior that illuminate the terminal. 2 AA batteries are required. Jetways are also available for purchase in packs of 6 singular or 3 double sets, for building an airport on your own. A hangar can be purchased to add realism to your airport.
