Not sure why tagged as a "spam airport".
This definitely exists, clearly visible on Google and OSM sat-maps.
Update 2021
Reopened as of September 2019, primarily being used to store aircraft for Vueling during the COVID crisis.

Immaculate private airfield, when driving past runway looks good enough to land a private jet.
No longer in use
Clipped by the border and no longer even entirely in Iraq!
The Lowest Airport in the World
Between 1240 and 1266 ft below sea level, Bar Yehuda Airfield is the lowest altitude airport on the planet.
Geographical quirk!
Despite being less than two miles from the sea, Madha Airport is in a landlocked exclave of Oman, completely surrounded by the UAE. There's also a smaller enclave of UAE land within the Madha territory. There are no border crossings in any case, as the relationship between the UAE and Oman in modern times is sufficiently cordial as to make this largely a non-issue.
Tiny but Nice Las Trancas Airport.
Las Trancas Airport Is A Very Tiny Airport in many ideas, Its just a dirt airsrip off of Highway 1, However, Las Trancas Is A Nice Airport, And I want others to know that it is a tiny airport, Since it is so Small, The airport is only limited to Piston Single And Piston Agricultural Aircraft. I want to try buying a plane and landing on the rather tiny airstrip myself, but well not yet... It's right next to a Lumber yard off of Highway One thats right next to the airport, The Airport is a nice airport, but its unknown, Even to Locals Of Davenport! It dosen't even has its own wikipedia Page!
The Airport has a nice but very tiny building thats Clearly Visible When Driving On Highway 1 because it has a wind measuring cone on the top. Its Very Small.
Ideas With the airport:
Buy A Piston Single Or Piston Agricultural Plane And Land Here Yourself, if you want, land here multiple times.
When the place is not used, Help develop the runway by possibly painting it or making it wider by clearing off the grass.
Maybe Add Some Lights, So The Cabrillo Highway Travellers Can See The Beautiful Airport, Also Maybe A Generator.
Idk, reply 2 this comment and give more ideas on what to do with the airport or more facts about the Las Trancas airport.
Following international practice
Most countries in the world do not recognise Russia's annexation of Crimea. Until/unless that changes, we will continue to list this airport is in an occupied region of Ukraine. Please do not edit to change that โ repeated efforts to change it will result in account suspension.
Closed since 1977.
Microsoft Flight Simulator lists this, hilariously, as "USEU Severo-Kurilsk". Okeanskoye has been closed and unusable since at least the 1970s.
Repurposing duplicate
Since I am unable to merge, I'm repurposing this heading for a different aviation facility in India.
re: Crimea
Hi Bill35! In the current iteration of the database: neither Crimea nor Sevastopol are selectable as independent entities or as subdivisions of Russia, only as subdivisions of Ukraine. The United Nations continues to consider Crimea and Sevastopol as Ukrainian territory occupied by Russia. There are instances where OurAirports diverges from strict UN interpretation (ie. Taiwan, Kosovo) and note that the islands of the southern Kuril chain are reckoned as strictly Russian and not Japanese (mirroring decades of de facto control), but for the most part, I believe this site adheres to UN and IATA policy.
Remanded to Website Owner
I am too busy adding unlisted airports and heliports throughout the world to continue to deal with this regional spat. I have remanded this to the OurAirports administrator for an official decision. If he decides to add Crimea and Sevastopol as subdivisions of the Russian Republic, then that's up to him.
Please stop moving this airport to Russia.
Unless and until the UN recognizes the occupation of the Crimean Peninsula by Russia, we should continue to list all airports in Crimea as being in Ukraine. There is no subdivision for Crimea or Sebastopol under the Russia heading. This is not the time or place for nationalistic sentiment -- this is simply abiding by the good-faith standards of database maintenance.
@mestify_gurl
Pano po kayo naka labas?ako kasi i just need to travel kahit 7 days lang
Hi
@petunia have you travelled again po?
To be reopened by 2023
Apparently under (re)construction as Vlorรซ International Airport.

Great airport
Small but extremely efficient. Have used dozens of times and rarely been disappointed.
Great airport but beware the taxi driver!
Nice and efficient.
Busy
A very busy airport. Make sure you plan time for getting through immigration when booking any ferry boats.
One if not the best airport
A great airport. Korean efficiency and service at its best.
Nice place
Spent longer than planned here while waiting for the typhoon to pass. Everthing I need was there.

Rounded coordinates for runways
While trying to fix VNLK runway location, I noticed that lat/lon coordinates were rounded to 4 decimals which, at the equator, gives a precision of about 11meters. I would think that an extra digit or two would not hurt in terms of DB size and would greatly enhance runway localization.
Please update
Remove old ESKS (strรคngnรคs AB) as it is interfering with some programs using this database. Also this airport now has airliner service after a big expansion, ref wikipedia.
New airport
Could this old please be removed as it is not existing anymore.
Please add the new ESKS instead. Scandinavian Mountains airport (IATA: SCR)
Runway ident changed
My bad, runway ident has been updated to 27. However, I do not seem to be able to add/edit threshold coordinates. Any idea why?
Runway ident changed
Runway 26 now appears to be runway 27 (as seen in google maps images). All changes I make in ourairports.com seem to be reverted (automatically or by someone). I sent an email to contact@ourairports.com but did not get any answer. Is someone still maintaining this website?
Runway numbers are changed
Current Runwy number 02-20. Incorrect in database.
IO
My mga IO talagang mga piste! As in piste! Gusto sigiro padulas or what. Barumbado pa kong magtanong. Dress appropriately kasi ngmamata ang mga yan.

Excellent Facility
The cheapest gas for over 15 years is right here
Great facility with courtesy car
Too bad the don't wear masks
fast baggage handling
Your baggage is usually in the moment available you enter the arrivals area.
(no subject)
You may cross the runway when hiking the beautiful coastline. An alarm sounds to announce air traffic.
Crisis averted!
I've repurposed this duplicate to cover a different airfield.
Re: Camรญ Heliport
This name was incorrect. Camรญ in Catalan means path, and therefore Camรญ Heliport is "Heliport Path", the name of the adjacent road. The correct name (Terra Guindaldes) has been applied to this heliport.
Transliteration notes
This is labeled as "Ogyokaidozoino Helipad" in Google Maps. This is extremely incorrect.
The adjacent road is actually "Osakana-kaido", NOT "Ogyo-kaido" (literally "fish road"), and the "zoino" is a misreading of "zoi no" meaning "along", and not part of the helipad's name. Basically, the Japanese is transliterated as "o-sakana-kaido zoi no heliport", or translated as "the heliport along Fish Road". Without the actual name, I'm using the name of the adjacent road (Osakana-kaido) which shouldn't be translated literally in this case.
beware MSFS fake ICAO codes
Yeah, Asobo / MSFS have created a lot of their own GPS/ICAO codes for airports that are not congruent with reality, especially as heliports are not yet rendered in the sim as of the end of 2020 (so they wouldn't catch the duplicate).
First solo flight 1983
When I learned to fly in Canada 1983
I completed my first solo 10. of July 1983 on Midland (Huronia) Airport with an Cessna 150 C-GUKF and finally got the PPL Licence on July 29th 1983.
I never forget this awesome time flying in Ontario. Wonderful!

(no subject)
Recently paved and painted as of 20 Dec 2020. No perimeter fence, directly adjacent to FM 1470 to the south, private residences to the north.
well that's a tight fit
Lots of signage warning pedestrians and motorists going into the adjacent parking garage of the "Helicopter Landing Zone". Rotor wash here must be all sorts of fun.
Name should be changed
The ICAO name is MPCL and the local three letter name used is CLZ
