Missing airports

[spiff23]

As noted...not sure anyone is monitoring this as some of the suggestions don't seem to be appearing, but for the record...

A decent size airport in a sunny tourist spot in Brazil is missing

Porto Seguro  SBPS

[spiff23]

the airports central to the real-world milk run of UA155 are missing.

These are TKK, PNI, KWA and MAJ. Was trying to re-create the milk run in RC but without success.

And if continuing to Island hop over to Palau, the airport on Yap is also missing

(I was also looking for these airports)

If you want to go for historical authenticity, then for the pre Next Gen 737 era, the now closed airport at Johnston Atoll was the stop between Honolulu and Majuro.

Hi Admins,

I'm playing from a base in India, and noticed that while some very small/inoperative airfields (e.g. Agra) are present in the game; some of the bigger ones like Pune (PNQ) and Aurangabad (IXU) are not.

Pune (PNQ): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pune_Airport

Aurangabad (IXU): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aurangabad_Airport

Furthermore, accurate data for actual pax demand for all Indian domestic city-pairs is easily available online, and it is given by DGCA (Directorate General of Civil Aviation), which is the aviation regulatory body in India. So if you have enough time, you can model accurate pax demand for every Indian domestic route in your next game iteration.

March 2017 figures are available here: http://dgca.nic.in/pub/month-stats/2017/DOM%20CITYPAIR%20DATA,%20MAR%202017.pdf

Thanks !

Would be nice to have them in for those dorniers etc. and since Norwegian airlines cant base outside Norway.

Also should the 50nm limit be removed so its possible to fly between those smaller airports in northern Norway.

Hi,

Greetings from Iraq. I live in Erbil/Arbil and was a bit surprised to see it's not in the game. Can you add it?


I am shamelessly copying from Wikipedia...

A new Turkish built, $US550 million airport was opened on 3 March 2010. The new airport is next to the old airport (previously a military field) and has one of the world's longest runways, 4,800 m × 75 m (15,748 ft × 246 ft) and is equipped for ILS CAT II operations.[1] The airport's new terminal has duty-free shops and currency exchange offices.[3] The terminal also has CIP areas for business jets, and there is a VIP terminal for visiting dignitaries and diplomats.[2] for a purpose of achieving the international airport standards [4]

In 2010 Erbil International Airport had the least expensive aviation fuel in Iraq (at 83 US cents per litre).[5]

I have attached the current destinations/airlines so you get an idea of the traffic levels. Just over 1.5 passengers in 2014 although it may have gone done during 15/16 given the presence of IS in the region. Although now things are picking up again. If the oil price improves the economy will also grow with it....
