This feature was added in the V1.2. update of the game.

Dodo Airlines added a new feature to lighten the load off your pockets; the Item Delivery and Liquidation services.

As of now, this feature is only available when you are on Harv's Island. Sadly, you cannot use this on Mystery Island Tours.

Item Delivery Send items from your pockets straight to your home storage for free.
Item Liquidation Sell items from your pockets with the price you would get via the drop-off box of Nook's Cranny.

Available Colors for the Airport

The Airport will be one of four different colors – Green, Blue, Yellow, or Orange. As the color of the Airport is completely random, if you're hoping for an Airport with a specific hue, you'll need to restart your game to reroll for another color.
