We have already over 2000 airports in database but the following areas are still missing many airports:


  • Russia
  • Canada
  • Africa
  • Some parts of Asia (see map)
  • Some parts of South America (see map)

If you can help us in finding the information then please see this topic: https://www.airwaysim.com/forum/index.php/topic,13.0.html

Before posting the data for us, please see that it has not been already added: https://www.airwaysim.com/Information/Airports

Here's the link to canada's data (already submitted to me, thanks): http://www.statcan.ca/english/freepub/51-203-XIE/51-203-XIE2005000.pdf

If someone could check this list and compare to airwaysim's included airports list and see if we already have all the data from there. And if not, then make the list of missing data in the format requested. Thanks.

cmandel

Sami

Oh yes, naturally so  ;)

Again, remember to check this listing first before you do anything, as the airport collection is constantly growing: https://www.airwaysim.com/Information/Airports

1655 currently, plus about ~20 in my inbox that need to be added.

Just noticed that there's also quite poor coverage of Belarus and Ukraine. Russia too, but that I mentioned already. More info is always appreciated.

you probably want to check the list of included airports first. All Baltic states are already in the db.

I always check the database, but I think there are a few puny ones that I can add.  :D

12 Russian airports sent, more to come. So, that leaves my total to 25 sent, 1 rejected, 12 accepted, and 12 unknown! ;D

Along with Russia, I'll see to it that Mongolia doesn't have any more airports and then I'll help with Ukraine.

Hey Mr. Seattle, How is it that you seem to find this airport information so easily?! And especially for countries like Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Mongolia??

naio90

its not so hard XD

Ive already sent like 180-200 airports...

The point is that most of the small airports dosnt have info about the cargo or the number of planes that are able to operate at the same time...

Seattle

I've never been called Mr! :laugh:

Well, I go to Wiki, I look them up on the web, I *Sometimes* have to make educated guess', I look at other airline simulation games, and I leave somethings like cargo, capacity, and time blank (or 0's).

P.s. dont do russia, Mongolia, and the other former countries of USSr
