Missing Airports #74

Closed Bridouille closed 2 years ago

Bridouille commented 2 years ago

I own an app where people can import their boarding passes and I noticed a few airports are missing, IATA codes below:

DBX
JJD
CJF
ZHT I know this one points to a Railway station but apparently there is also an Airport there? There is certainly some airlines issuing boarding passes with this IATA code as the destination.

Hi,

For Dubai, you are mistyping the IATA code, it's DXB not DBX. DXB is already present.

For ZHT, the nearest (and only) airport there is LSGG/GVA. There is no airport with the IATA code of ZHT, so I'm unsure where that's coming from.

JJD and CJF added/fixed with 3e0aa5779ad77aec72a4a15ecc0e417eab1979a0.

Thanks!

Hi!

Thanks for the quick answer and update!

For Dubai, you are mistyping the IATA code, it's DXB not DBX. DXB is already present.

That's totally right, sorry about that. Some company issuing boarding pass has it wrong in their system as well.

For ZHT, the nearest (and only) airport there is LSGG/GVA. There is no airport with the IATA code of ZHT, so I'm unsure where that's coming from.

Sounds good, it seems it also happens for QKL in Cologne.

In the meantime I found two other ones that seems to be real missing ones (still by IATA codes):

Added SAG and ULH with 9b1a1b120c7ad0b01e245f74176ff616685bb47d.

QKL and others are odd but those are definitely not airports. Must be some airline trickery, issuing tickets from train stations.

Dont know if I should open a new issue or keep commenting on this one, but here are a few that needs to be added or an update as well:

JRG (missing IATA)
YIA
TLN (wrong IATA?)
DGH

Added with 37dea9ec54dc8cbcfbb9015e555e03c64da55bd8.

Posting in this issue is fine, I only closed it because I didn't know you'd have more.

Thanks!

Hi and merry Christmas! Decided to have a look at some missing airports in the last months, here is a list of the ones I found:

Tried to verify they're all airports and not railways or anything.
