I've been hoping for a 3D version of SimAirport/AirportCEO for years now, so I was stoked when I saw Terminal One.

Unfortunately, at this stage, it is not a whole lot of fun to play. It's in "early access" state, but released officially, so I look at it as such.

While the game runs at 60+ FPS with the settings I chose, the entities in the game are not moving around smoothly at all. It does not help that the camera controls are atrocious and options are very limited. Zooming is awkward/jumpy, rotating is fixated on a weird point and slow, the angle seemingly cannot be changed at all.

Then the gameplay, "easy" (which is not sandbox) disables achievements, I guess players who prefer their games more casual are not worthy of achievements. Certainly a choice.
It's a slow start where you can easily maneuverer yourself into a dead end. But supposedly that would be better after a few hours.
The bare tutorial is not very helpful and complains about "too long taxiway to the runway", without offering solutions. These long default runways will always have long taxiway either before or after the apron, what are we supposed to do about it?
I also have no idea what to do when to planes get stuck. After a few minutes of two planes being stuck the game crashed, so tthere's that.

Overall, I don't think in its current state the game has a whole lot to offer, unfortunately. Still I'm glad there's a 3D airport builder.
