When an airport needs an expansion, the Construction Site crew is on the job! With help from fun new vehicles from the airport, they'll build new roads and runways, prep planes for their trips, and clean up after a surprise snowstorm.



The airport is a busy place--Belt Loader, Tractor, Snowplow, and many other vehicles pull the planes, pump the fuel, move the luggage, maintain the runways, and much more. Working together, the team will get all the planes in the air in time for a sweet and sleepy goodnight.
