re: No info
This site largely caters for pilot's and gives very meaningifull/usefull information to us. I do not believe it was intended as passenger information service.
re: Airport information - flights to Durban
This airport has no scheduled flight service. All aircraft operating from here are private.
Bureau of Immigration (BI) Officer Michael Vincent Dizon of
This morning, I have experienced the worst nightmare in flying abroad. I'd been travelling in and out of the country (our native land - Philippines) as an OFW since May 1986 and I never experienced what this DMIA BI Officer Mr. Michael Dizon did with my passport. Mr Dizon broke my passport into two piece on suspicion that my passport was tampered. Do this BI Immigration has the capacity to break the passport based on their suspicion? They did not even allow me to have my passport instead issue me a receipt that they confiscate my passport for validation or verification. The passport was the latest Digital Passport that DFA issued to all Filipino who wishes to work abroad or visits countries outside Philippine territory.
Today 10October2011, is my flight to go to Singapore as a Tourist or on pleasure trip.
I just used my passport to go to Azerbaijan last June 2010 to work as an OFW under Salini Costrutti company. Eventually when I was in Azerbaijan... Salini want me to work in the company's project in Ukraine and arrange me a Ukraine Visa. As per contract I have no choice but go to Ukraine. But because of the weather condition in Ukraine (that reached -36deg-cent) during the winter I decided to resign my job and goes back to Philippine last Sept 28 2011.
A friend of mine learned what happened, and invited to visit Singapore to take a break that I agree and I booked flights to Singapore (round trip for 3weeks stay in Singapore). And today I was supposed to leave and this incident happened. I was really shocked... if only I knew that this officer will tore down my passport to two piece... hindi na sana ako tumuloy...
Mr. Dizon does not seems to realize how hard to get a passport these days... If he really have suspicion that my passport was tampered he can just easily call DFA-Clark to validate or verify this passport that was just recently used abroad...or simply send it to DFA untouched.
Id been seeking government offices that can help me with this incident and hope I can find someone who can really help me to stop these inhumane act of BI officers, not to mention that I am a native of this country and been an OFW since 1986 of no bad records at all...

Community of flight
A gem.
No services.
Just great runway, and fantastic community of pilots.
Please start Muzaffarpur Airport
Dear CM Mr. Nitish Kumar Sahab,
You are undoubtedly the ever best CM that our state has seen who holds so much hunger for the development. Yet there are a lot of grey areas in your state which you can easily overcome without putting an oil & butter.
One such is by starting the much demanded Muzaffarpur airport for which I am sure the Govt. has nothing to do save a nod as a lot of Airtransport Companies would be in queue to get the permission to start their services. The Govt. of Bihar must ponder over it. By starting the MUZAFFARPUR Airport at Patahi, not only the tourism may get a boost but also the state may write a new chapter in the development process besides fulfilling the promise of providing good facilities to the people of Bihar. Hope this request may witness the daylight soon.
Regards,
Dr. Sahab Shabbir 'Baboosahab'
Muzaffarpur Airport
correct gentleman, and yes, the tourism too will get a boost besides providing a credit in the name of Nitish's susashan.
Progress of an Airport

Δ°skenderun Airport
it is in Turkey come and see stolen sandjak is Aleppo and it is Turkish Arabs only %10 in Δ°skenderun.Syria is not a natural country Crusaders created it is a part of Arabia.
Excellent airport
Corporate air is just great. Fueling is fast and the courtesy car is almost always there. I'll second the Kitty Hawk Cafe, good food and good view of the runway.
I like it
The tarmac is not great, there are certainly a few rough spots, but the fuel is the cheapest in the area and they have MoGas. There is a restroom and it is a great place to take new pilots to learn the illusions of narrow runways and runways with serious slope.
Good diner
The Spruce Goose is on the field and has great diner food. Aviation theme is fun, service is fast and the view of the planes is great.
Susi Air fly to Sarmi
Susi Air has a regular flight from Jayapura to Sarmi on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
Great airport for private aircraft
With the town of Tofino just 15 minutes away, a new terminal just completed and upgrades to the airport in the works this is a great destination to fly into to experience the wild west coast of Vancouver Island. Accomodations range from the renowned Wickaninnish Inn and its ocean view restaurant, "The Pointe" to excellent hostels, budget motels and Vacation Rentals there is something for everyone. Budget Rental car is available at the airport too so transportation is immediately available year round.
VOR DVL not functioning
Routing via DVL back to UK on Friday 30th Sept 11 this beacon wasn't working however, can't find any Notam regarding temp u/s ? With feq 110.20 had an increasing distance rather than decrease when approaching. The indent wasn't clear and maybe was TST (test)
Corruption
I won't recomment to use Sialkot airport at all. I have travelled to and from Sialkot airport 3 times and each experience is worse than other. Staff of sialkot airport openly ask for bribe... all the staff is corrupt. They open the luggage and ask the passenger to leave the items with them or pay a specific amount without any reason.
I absoloutely hate Sialkot Airport and now I have decided to use Lahore airport instead.

Airport in Dhanbad
Distance between Patna & Calcutta is almost 500 KM, in between no airport, Dhanbad is middle of these two cities, my request to Jarkhand govt. please take necessary action to operate a airport in Dhanbad. In today many people traveling to Dhanbad and near-about towns from verious cities, they need a simple journey not hassle. please do the needful.

Lighting
I visited the airport in September 2011 and it does not have any runway lighting.
great airport
Facilities great. Looked after by the local flying club. Bowser fuel 24/7 at reasonable price and plenty of goodies in the fridge. (pay on an honour system...price list on fridge) Can toast sandwiches, make coffee, soup etc and relax in the lounge. excellent stopover on the way north.
Colin
facilities
First time on KI. Beaut flight down the coast and across the water. Fantastic runways, even the dirt one but what a big disappointment with the facilities at the terminal. A vending machine and water fountain, and this is supposed to be one of the premier tourist destinations in not only SA but Australia. Whoever is in charge needs to get their act together. Port Pirie which isn't even an RPT airport is streets ahead
great hospitality
Decided to make another trip down from Parafield via the coast and Coorong as a birthday present for a longtime friend. Circled the town and on landing was greeted by George who thought it would be nice to come out and say g'day. Not only that he gave us a tour of the town showing all the new development taking place and dropped us off at the cafe/restaurant by the lake. Hospitality there fabulous as was the food and view over the lake. Gotta have their burgers. Wandered back up to the main street and rang George to thank him for all he had done and he insisted dropping us back at the strip...only a 15 minute walk anyway. This has to be one of the best kept secrets close to Adelaide. GREAT DAY OUT!
Thanks again...Colin
re: scammed for chihuahua puppy!!
Reply to @sarah1987:
hi sarah, i dont know if it is to late, but i fell for a scam for sugar gliders from cameroon, and i called the Western Credit Union (which im assuming they asked you to wire money from) and they have a fraud hotline and it allows you to cancel your money transfers. I am lucky i found this site because i cancelled my transfer shortly after. The best of luck :)
PI Immigration
I am a British guy who travels out of Clark every week. Fortunatly i have a good job which allows such frequent travel. Even myself travelling with a girlfriend on a PI passport was interogated by these arseholes who think they represent PI immigration. I myself was recently stopped on arrival and questioned to why I travel so often. Have tried to seek legal advise, however PI immigration are trying to arselike the USA on Child trafficiking claims, so unfortunatly all travel is now being looked at. unfortuantly every Filipino who has the right to leave a free country is being discriminated.
Basically all philippine consulates around the world have a procedure for issuing avadavid support is a person wants to visit that country if friends are there. The difficulty is when a Filipino want to visit a country as a tourist.
On the Tiger Airways website they mention about this .
Unfortunatly until the USA believes thePI has human trafficiking under control, this discrimanation of travellers will continue.
re: Bihar hai yaar...
dude try to kar sakate hain ..... why don't we try collecting the data and then suggest a plan to Nitish Kumar ...... infact I think Patahi airport has more land compared to Patna airport ....... also Patahi ariport has better scope of expansion compared to Patna or Bihata because it has more open land around it .......
re: Airport overview
ourairports.com doesn't have its own fleet of satellites. It has to rely on what Google provides. If the picture is out of date, then only Google can update it.
Airport overview
The satellite picture is at least 3 years old and doesn't show the new terminal that is the only one in use now and for at least 2 years from now.
re: What made Bacolod-Silay Airport and "International"?
Bacolod-Silay was built to "international" standards, hence the designation "International". But it is only domestic airport. Depending on where you are booking from, generally, the gateway to the Philippines is through Manila. There are regional flights landing at Clark, some miles north of Manila and also at Cebu, central Philippines.
So far, Bacolod-Silay needs a runway lengthening to be able to accommodate long range, heavy jets like the B747 or the A-340. That is why there are no direct international flights coming into BCD. Clark and Cebu are former US airbases and are long enough to accommodate even a C-5.
Some airlines have codeshare agreements with Philippine Airlines and Cebu-Pacific which allow them to book seats giving the impression that they fly into those cities but these are actually fulfilled by the local airline counterparts. I hope I was able to address your question.
