Vundenberg Intermicronational Airport was the national airport of the Tsardom of Phokland and later, the Phoklandian Free State. Opened in late 2016, the airport was located in the ex-phoklandian capital of Vundenberg and was used exclusively as a hub for Air Phokland (a drone based air cargo service).
A notable feature of PVIA was that though the site functioned as a working droneport, it also contained a large amount of model aircraft that were used as decoration.
In early 2020, the airport was closed due to a lack of activity and the need for available space to be used in local development projects. In addition, the transfer of Vundenberg's sovereignty from Phokland to Bregusland meant that PVA could no longer legally sustain commercial operations. Following the airport's closure, a small segment of the former airport's runway and two model aircraft were preserved and moved to the governmental chambers of Bregusland where they became centerpiece displays in the dependency's Colonial Museum.
Following the dissolution of Bregusland in January of 2021 and the subsequent closure of the museum, the model planes and runway segment remaned in place until the summer of 2021 when during a regular cleaning, the runway section was destroyed and trashed due to severe decay of its paper construction material. However, the model aircraft survived and continue to stand abandoned to this day as the only remnants of Vundenberg Airport.
Future development
On 9 April 2022 it was announced by the government of Raphania (who had taken control over the area previously encompassing PVA) that the two model aircraft would be cleaned and would become display pieces in the planned Phokland Historical Museum.
