The Fisher-Price Little People #996 Airport is one of the most imaginative transportation sets from the golden era of Little People. Designed as the perfect companion to the earlier Fun Jet, this airport gave kids a complete travel experience all in one compact, action-packed base. What truly sets the #996 apart is its clever, interactive design. The swing-out runway and concourse create an expanded play area, while the working crank brings the helicopter blades and luggage conveyor to life. Add in the drive-up ramp and rooftop control tower, and you have a bustling airport scene full of movement and charm. Produced for just a few short years before being replaced by later airport designs, the #996 remains a standout favorite among collectors for its creativity, play value, and classic Fisher-Price ingenuity.
This set is in good vintage condition with all original pieces included. The lithos/stickers are in good condition, small piece missing from front right sticker and inside sticker is coming detached slightly from the building base (see photos). The baggage carousel and helicopter blades spin when you crank the handle on top. This is such a fantastic set and perfect for any collector!
