Ludhiana airport is operational passenger airport. You can check it by going to any of the sites for purchasing air tickets. There are regular flights to and from Ludhiana airport. DIPAK MUKHOPADHYAY, dipak_mukhopadhyay@rediffmail.com
Fast food within walking distance
There's a McD's and a Subway just northeast of the field, there might be some other places too...
Very scenic but was a bit bumpy when I visited (lots of hills around).
No real food on location
Despite what the CFS says, the only food available at the airport is vending machine stuff (not real food IMHO)

re: complain
yes what u all have said are true. my niece was interrogated by one of the officer and denied going to singapore without any explanation. when the officer ask her if she have money to bring and my niece said yes 20k then the officer said he won't let her go. maybe he want to have some share of my niece show money and when my niece ask y she cannot go he didn't explain anything. my niece is innocent that's why it didn't click to her mind that maybe the officer need lagay. (bribe)
Nice Airport, Mediocre Service
While the flying club members are friendly, the terminal staff are less than pleasant to deal with. Next time, I'll take my money elsewhere.
Airport sold
The airport has been sold to developers, who plan to continue to operate it and to build a residential airpark around it:

ARCAL runway lighting issues
The antenna for the ARCAL type J (5 clicks) runway lighting is on the west side of the museum building. Because the huge museum building is in the way, it is difficult or impossible to activate the lighting on the ground in the east half of the field (including holding short for runway 27), so you may have to taxi to midfield to activate the lights first, then taxi back if you're departing from 27.
When approaching from the east in the air, you may also have trouble activating the lighting (unless you wait until mid-downwind). Approaching from the west, it should be much easier, since you have the antenna in line-of-sight.
That said, the ARCAL is very picky, and may take several attempts even when you have it in line of site. The flying club experimented with a lot of sensitivity settings last summer in an attempt to improve it, but with no luck. Just be patient and keep trying, or call UNICOM to see if anyone's still in the club to activate the lights for you.
About tulsipur airport

Servicio al Cliente ( Customer Service)
HONDURAS, C.A
es un Pais muy bello, y si la atencion que se le da a los viajeros al momento de llegar a el aeropuerto fuera mas cordial y profecional
estoy segura que las cifras de viajeros se triplicarian en un par de meses.
Si por casualidad el Sr, PRESIDENTE si es que lo hay lee este mensaje, le sugiero poner en practica con sus empleados el darle un excelente Servicio al Viajero ya que de ellos no solo come su Familia si no que tambien la de ellos, 1) Saludar de Mano , 2) Presentarse por su Nombre , 3) Darles la bien venida a Honduras, 4) ofrecer ayuda, 5) por ultimo y sobre todo sonreir, sonreir.....
Fuel Prices
there fuel prices are outrageous there asking $4.60 for 100LL and $4.25 for jet Fuel. Why arent they all arested and put in jail for price gouging.
airport management
who is the manager of the hazleton airport. Do they have an advisory committee. if they have either it appears useless. I have never seen an airport that size that is in such poor standards. no quality no lites no management my future business? I dont think so!
weekday line service
the line serviceman during the week appears nonexistent. no one answers the radio no one comes out to greet you and if you can find the employee in question he is usually asleep.
nice airport
make sure you visit the nice people at Cardinal aviation
re: Former RAF station
Do you have the latitude and longitude for the old RAF base?

Adding onto the comment about Shelly Jeremy
my email is lannymv@hotmail.com and I live in Alberta Canada. They post in local online classifieds here.
Scammers trying to sell puppies to Canadians
Anything from a SHELLY JEREMY or shellyjeremy52@yahoo.com is trying to sell English Bulldogs Tina and Tiny for 160.00 a piece. She even sent me pictures. I even got her to send me phone numbers cause i didn't beleive her and I reached someone at +23796646716 and he said that his name was Mr. Tom Smith and he was the General Manager in the Pet Department at Douala Airport. He told me that the flight time for these puppies was 3 hours and 27 minutes from Africa to Alberta Canada. That is funny considering they are half way around the world. BEWARE if it doesn't sound right it isn't!
construction/renovation
has the airport in Vinnitsa been renovated or upgraded from the time I visited the city 3 years ago?
Bystrzyca Klodzka Airfield & Junkers Ju-390 in 1945
This airfield interestingly appears to be the airfield from which the almost mythical Nazi Bell was flown by Junkers Ju-390 to Bodo, Norway about 17/18 April 1945. SS Lt Gen Sporrenberg and SS Hauptsturm Rudolf Schuster both gave depositions after WW2 saying the aircraft departed from an airfield at Klodzko, or west of Opole.

re: project not approved
Reply to @david: Welcome! I will keep you posted.
The seaplane base is in the WAS (Water Aerodrome Supplement). The 2 runways will be finish, on 0-3/8 compacted stone dust, in 2 weeks. TC came a month ago for inspection and as soon as I put the windsock and markers they will put Pontiac Airpark in the CFS.
I sold 3 lots. A 4th one is coming soon. His architect plan is done!
I was supposed to built the clubhouse this year but I was too late. I did not want to built during the winter months. Next year!
I should check the web more often about the Pontiac Airpark. I will now!
Fly high!
Andre.
P.S. Note that there is a NOTAM in effect: No touch and go at the seaplane base.
re: project not approved
Thanks for clearing that up, André. Let us know when your runway is operational.
re: project not approved
To the anonymous flyer,
I am very VERY shocked about this VERY WRONG affirmation!!!
I am the developper of this project and I NEVER DID a CLEAR CUT ON MY LAND! I cut the minimum trees for the runways and the taxiways. I love the bush, I was raise in the bush and I want to live in the bush.
In 2005, my neighbour cut a lot of trees on his land and an environmentalist came in my office to tell me, and the medias, that I did a clear cut! Of course, this was wrong.
This project DOES NOT NEED APPROVAL from the provincial government.
Aviation (runways, taxiways and seaplane base) is of Federal juridiction. The seaplane base is approved (check the WAS) and the runways will be approved shortly.
The provincial rules states that you can not built at less then 10 (or 15 depending) meters from the water and that you cannot disturb a wet land. Each residential lot has to follow the municipal, provincial and federal rules. As long as you follow the rules nobody will disturb your peace. The municipality will approve your implantation plan for your building permit. The project, and each lot, DOES NOT NEED the provincial approval.
The municipality is pushing me to do this project. This will be great for the Pontiac.
André Durocher.
Owner, developper.
New
I was travelling via Moscow to Gelendhzik and discover a very brand new, but also very small airport - somehow funny - with no luggage belt. When I left, one aircraft to St. Petersburg was delayed and due to this, the "terminal" completely overcrowded...I liked it. reisen.cc
Airport location
This is a very nice vew of Cookhouse village... but is there actually an airstrip?
Airport Closed!
This was the site of the old Barberton Airport and has been closed for 9 years. A township is now established on the old site.
The new Barberton Airport is located at the following google coordinates: -25.713466 30.974751 / Gps coordinates: S25'43'051 E030'58'515
Closing soon
This airport is closing soon, to be replaced by KECP. The scheduled airline service has already moved.
Replacing KPFN
This new airport has already replaced KPFN (Panama City-Bay County International Airport) for scheduled airline service, and will take over general aviation as well when KPFN closes.
re: smoking
I'm not a Yank, but I think smoking around someone is about as polite as urinating on his feet.
smoking
Oh NO someone is SMOKING. FFS mate get off your high horse. If you don't like it bugger off and get a bloody sandwich instead and eat it somewhere else in the airport. Gotta be a yank; after all they are always right. Small minded idiots.
Mig 21.
To whoever I'm trying to locate the owner, club for the Mig 21 that is preserved in an old military shelter at Wezlow. Any help greatly appreciated. I can be contacted at timjones007@hotmail.com
A Brief History
Have you ever eaten a bag of Cheezies? If yes, you have a connection to this airport as it is owned by Jim Marker, the inventor of Cheezies.
A Brief History
Long abandoned and with no sign of a runway to be found, the only clues that this location was ever an aerodrome was the remnants of an old windsock on the shed that might have been a hangar at one time. After spotting the old windsock, a bit of research found the airstrip marked on a topographic map from the 1960's. Today, the location can be found by driving along Highway 33 between Wellington and Bloomfield and looking for the 1/2(?)-scale Vought F4U Corsair replica perched on top of an old garage. The old airstrip is across the highway on the north side of the abandoned railroad tracks.
Fly-in B&B
A fly-in bed and breakfast owned by Mr. Scott. However, this info is many years out-of-date and the current condition is unknown.
re: A Brief History
Reply to @david: Those who grew up in the "County" call it Point Peter or simply the Point.
Cafeteria
There is a small cafeteria in the terminal building, with pre-made sandwiches, etc.
Pumps
The Petro-T (PropAir) office is on the other side of the terminal, but the fuel pumps are here (there is a truck for Jet-A, but not for 100LL). The FSS can tell you where to park.
Price for 100LL (2010-09-22): $1.64/litre including tax
re: Batavia
OurAirports gets its arrivals and departures data feed from FlightStats. Unfortunately, outside of North America, sometimes flights are missing from the feed.
re: A Brief History
Reply to @prattsoplenty: I grew up in Kingston, which isn't quite local, but I've always pronounced this as "point PEA-tree".
A Brief History
Also known as Point Peter to the locals, this location is the MACS (Military Aeronautical Communications System) Trenton HF radio transmitter site. Originally a range for the Bombing and Gunnery school at Picton, the site was also the launch pad for the Avro Arrow test models.
Batavia
Dear officer,
I checked my parents flight to Surabaya by Batavia air (Y6-535 depart 4PM)
yet the schedule is not there.
What has happened?
