Hi @mwgg, thanks for this fantastic repository. We ran into some issues in our code when querying for LRBV/GHV airport. So I took the liberty to query for missing airports and saw that there were a bunch of them that entered service in 2023. I validated elevations with Foreflight and verified with Google Maps for the location. Not sure if you are double-checking all the info - we try to add it to our best abilities. I couldn't find all the info on ZBSG just fyi.

And me or @jmion would also be very much interested in becoming co-maintainers if this was possible down the line.

Thanks for the PR! I do try to check that the data makes sense before merging, but I can't guarantee I don't miss something, of course. ;)

I initially published this because I was accumulating this database for a work project (that I'm no longer part of), and realized it could be useful for others. Back then I had more additions of my own. Nowadays I rarely have the time (or brain capacity) to work through the issues, and mostly just deal with PRs, so someone to help out with that would be great.

Thanks for having created this repo! Was exactly the data we needed for our project.
