Airport data in China

English Boards Suggestions and Ideas
1

Comparing the current list of airports in the game, I find that there are currently the following problems for data of Chinese airports inside the game:

  1. Both the new and old Chengdu airport (CTU and TFU), are named just “Chengdu”. CTU should be Chengdu Shuangliu and TFU should be Chengdu Tianfu.
  2. Airport LLV “Lvliang” is not correct. “v” is just a shortcut in Chinese keyboard to type “ü”. Therefore the correct name of the city/airport should be “Lüliang”. Alternative romanization without using the “ü” character would be Lyuliang.
  3. According to my understanding, Beijing Nanyuan Airport have already been demolished and is now undergoing urban development while the field is currently said to be transformed into COVID containment facility, so the airport should no longer be usable
  4. A number of airports already included in the game do not have ICAO code, including a number of very large airport. They should correspond to the following ICAO codes: A map from the Great Circle Mapper - Great Circle Mapper (gcmap.com)
  5. Some airport passenger class doesn’t seems to match their traffic level. (Airports with names in Chinese and no pax class are not in the game yet)
