Hand-crafted airports, also sometimes called bespoke airports, in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020) are airports which have received additional attention and detail improvements by Asobo over the other 37,000 airports procedurally-generated from satellite imagery.
Hand-crafted airports can be individually uninstalled from the content manager screen in-sim. They will be replaced with the procedurally-generated versions and cease to occupy storage space on the device. They can likewise be reinstalled through the same menu for free, including any newly-released airports from World Updates.
