Hong Kong

IATA Code: SDQ is Runway Length: 11,102 ft not 1102 ft

Hong Kong
Chek Lap Kok Airport and Kai Tak use the same IATA code

Regarding Hong Kong, this is technically correct, Kai Take airport has closed and Chek Lap Kop was given the old code when it re-opened. I think there are still a few other closed airports in the data as some of it came from Venture where they were to be included.

IATA Code: SDQ is Runway Length: 11,102 ft not 1102 ft

According to the Wikipedia page (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Las_Amér...al_Airport) the correct length should be 11,002, while that does still make the ingame value incorrect, do you have a source for 11,102?

You are right Skifan. I made a mistake.

Sorry!

Don't worry about it, I'm sure some of these issues will have been my own typos originally.
