Resurrection Airport is a Global Community airfield in Amman, Jordan where two fighter-bombers on a mission to attack Petra took off from. Also, Suhail Akbar ordered a "lance" missile to be launched from Amman after the two BLU-82s from the initial attack detonated on their targets in order to further devastate the area. Since it seemed that the two BLU-82s annihilated every inhabitant and structure in Petra from the ensuing conflagration, the subsequent missile launch seemed to be supererogatory and unnecessary overkill. (The two pilots dropped their ordinance on soft targets, not a hard target such as a command bunker or a missile silo where the usage of nuclear weapons are seen as an appropriate expedient for its destruction.) Due to God miraculously protecting the inhabitants of Petra, the attack did no damage and only generated a spring of water for the denizens of Petra.

The airfield was (re)named in honor of Nicolae Carpathia's resurrection. It is unknown if it is exclusively a military airfield or also used for civilian commercial flights, but Director of Security and Intelligence Suhail Akbar was able to establish communications with Amman command and order live feed for the take offs of the fighter-bombers inbound to Petra and also order the subsequent launch of a missile.

Airfield in Colorado[]

There is also another airfield named "Carpathia Resurrection Field" in Colorado where Global Community personnel who had not taken the mark of loyalty where to be administered with it. It is said to be south of Colorado Springs. Steve Plank's deputy Vasily Medvedev drove his superior to Resurrection Field, but since Steve Plank was a believer he decided to take a stand and accept martyrdom with the loyalty enforcement facilitator, refusing Chang Wong's suggestions of resisting and his offer of an opportunity to escape. Steve Plank, under the alias of Pinkerton Stephens, was a Tribulation Force mole within the Global Community, who had, up to then, been exempted from taking the mark of loyalty due to being disfigured in the Wrath Of The Lamb earthquake. While Vasily was driving, Steve Plank confides in Vasily that he is a believer, and to Steve's astonishment Vasily reveals that he knows the consequence of taking the mark of loyalty from sneaking on Tsion Ben-Judah's website and that he now regrets this irreversible decision and actually envies Steve's imminent martyrdom. Vasily then committed suicide in the vehicle after accompanying Steve to be processed.

At the mark application site at the north wing of the airport, there was a statue of Carpathia where hundreds who were late to get the mark of loyalty were bowing, praying, singing, and worshipping. There was also a menacing guillotine present where those who were in line for the mark of loyalty kept glancing at and laughing nervously, but the guillotine was unused before Plank was martyred. The staff there did not know how to operate the loyalty enforcement facilitator, so Plank had to act as technical support for his own execution, even suggesting that there should be a container for his decapitated head to fall into.
