Staff are airport employees that can be hired from the staff menu. Staff members are essential in order to run a successful airport.
Staff Types[]
There are three unofficial categories for staff members: Administration, Staff, and External.
Administration staff require an office zone and are primarily responsible for allowing research to take place. Once an administrative staff member has an office (which meets its zone requirements), more research opportunities which require that administrative staff member become available.
Staff are workers who mostly tend to manage passenger activity in the prison, with exceptions to staff such as the workman and janitor. Without staff, most airport operations will be unable to run; security will be at a standstill and no passengers will be able to check in (unless there is an abundance of ticketing kiosk objects).
External staff are staff members who are not hired directly from the staff menu, but rather hired as a consequence of purchasing specific objects. Certain objects, particularly bars and kiosks, will automatically hire two staff members when they are constructed. These staff members cannot be fired from the tooltip (clicking on them), but rather can only be fired by dismantling or selling the object that they are associated with.
