Closed?
This is a glider field, apparently. One can well imagine it is now in a kind of hibernation.
Long Walk
We had a very long walk to get back to the same gate we arrived at. We had a 2 hour layover while the Air Canada Boeing 777 was being cleaned. Deplaning ramp took us to the arrivals level and to get to the departures level for the same gate it must have been at least 2 km and we had to go past the retail stores and through security just to get to the upper level to re-enter the same aircraft. Maybe this sort of thing will be rectified when the new terminal now under construction gets finished.
This airport is closed!
I have been there with car. The runway is unmown and losts of dog walkers on it!
handling fees are a rip off
I have been there with a 172. Not even the very cheep (compared to Germany) fuel for an by intention an almost empty 172 hawk could compensate the landing fees, taxi fees, follow me fees, custom and security fees. On top of that we had to disuss if we are permitted to carry a nail sissor in our private airplane (coming from an gras airfield we could have brought in hundreds of kilos of TNT, nobody cared, but carring a nail sissor in the hand bag going back to our plane was a tremendous problem...) all this makes LUX a very unpleasant airport. I wont go nera ELLX any time soon! Rather go to the colse by airfields in France or Germany! And this is condidereing that part of my family lives about 3km from that airport.
re: Correction to data
Runway data updated.
re: (no subject)
Reply to @Mohsen: Thanks for the info -- I've made it into a problem report. Because this airport is in a disputed territory, I'd like to confirm the ICAO code before changing it. Do you have a link to a source?
Offshore wind farm
This platform is part of an offshore North Sea wind farm with a planned 600 MW capacity.
Here I learned to fly !!
Everyone already knows the definition by which a "good landing" is one after which you can leave the plane on its own legs. But few know the definition of "big landing": and one after which you can use the plane another time.
Airfield now Closed!
Sadly as of May / June 2019 Kyabram Airfield was closed and plowed in after the owner passed away.
re: Multiple IATA/ICAO codes
Reply to @dmomper: Right now, there's no capability, but I've added "LSZM" and the extra IATA codes to the keywords, so that they'll at least show up in searches.
re: No Southwest Airlines?
We've removed the routes, because we didn't have a good way to keep them up to date.
re: new info
Reply to @Jan_Olieslagers: Updated the airport name and code, and added a link to the Wikipedia article.
Uninhabited island
This island in the Pacific Ocean is uninhabited (except by occasional expeditions or cast-aways), and is a direct possession of France rather than part of one of its overseas territories. It does not belong to any Region or Department.

new gas tanks

Cool that the electrical lines are buried where they cross the strip but you'll probably break your landing gear if you try to land here, it's full of huge potholes.
(no subject)
It's not suitable to land as it has meter high vegetation.
(no subject)
Actually it's a grass runway and quite hard to spot if you're not familiar with it.

Small private airfield in a small tourist lodging with pool :)

It was improved recently for an ultra light aircraft fly-in event but military authorisation is required to use it.

Use the grass runways
The runway pavement surface is in bad shape, except for a small strip down the middle of 08/26. Use the grass surface beside each runway, which is well maintained (it was no problem for my nose-dragging PA-28).
(no subject)
Note: Bing Maps imagery shows a much more serviceable strip than Google Maps does. Not sure how old Bing's images are.
Conducted a prec search at this strip in 2018 and it looked unsuitable for landing due as it was overgrown
(no subject)
Very hard strip to spot. There are cones but that's it. If you have this for a CPL nav/test do a good recce of the satellite image before flying!
re: Another Ukraien International Airport!
I assume it at least has customs for private aircraft.

RCLG is now a city park, etc. Please remove it.
Road crossing runway
From the Wikipedia article:
"Winston Churchill Avenue (the main road heading towards the land border with Spain) intersects the airport runway, and consequently has to be closed every time a plane lands or departs."
Shared zone and frequency with Les Cèdres
This airport is only a few miles to the north of the busier Les Cèdres/Cedars (CSS3), and shares a common zone and ATF frequency of 123.5 MHz (also the frequency for Ottawa/Rockcliffe CYRO, so it gets busy).
Like Les Cèdres, it's under Montreal Terminal's class C shelf, so if you're VFR, you need to stay below 2,000 ft MSL unless you're talking to them. It's a flat area with lots of fields and no high towers, so low flight isn't a problem.
The runway's not as bad as it looks
The runway looks like a patchwork quilt of different shades of asphalt when you're on approach, but the surface is actually fine.
If you're VFR, note that you need to stay below 2,000 ft MSL unless you talk to Montreal Terminal (and they're often too busy to talk much, though they try to accomodate). The land is flat, there are no high towers in the area, and there are fields for emergency landing in every direction, so it's not really a problem flying around at 1,500 ft until you're out from under the class C shelf.
Maintained
Use at your own risk. Grass is mowed.
Health screening during the 2014-15 Ebola crisis
When I visited in 2015 during the Ebola crisis, there was fairly strict health screening in place. We had our temperatures taken before we entered the terminal building by local authorities (common at all public buildings), then again before we boarded the Air France flight, by a security team from France. On arrival at CDG, we were checked again exiting the plane, then those of us who had started our trips in Ebola-affected countries were pulled off the Paris-Montreal flight first, while all other passengers were forced to remain seated, and given a checkup by a public health nurse.
Mountain (sort-of)
The mountain (by eastern standards) is just behind the field, and looms large when you're crossing overhead from the south to join the downwind for 08. It's good to warn any passengers that you'll appear to be flying straight towards the trees.
Still open (2019)
If flew in again this spring. Yes, it's still here. The airport is a bit shabby and run-down, but you can't beat it for convenience—just a quick short distance away from the centre of the city.

— @david at Riyan Mukalla International Airport, Yemen
According to a UN bulletin, a Yemenia Airways flight arrived from Cairo on 27 November 2019, the first scheduled flight into the airport since 2015. (Yemen is currently in a state of civil war, and represents the world's most-severe humanitarian crisis, with over 20 million people in need of emergency assistance.)
