re: Website find
This airport did exist. Recently the "X" at the end of the runway was paved over. The old runway is currently being used as a taxiway for the landing strip across the street.

There currently isn't a Wikipedia page about this airport; however, there is one about the town it is located in. There is also an official website about this airport.

It was planned to have six runways, with 2 of them 5000 m, 4 of them 4500 m. I don't understand why it was planned to be so long, but it would be really exciting if it were completed.

I was always really excited about the finish of the airport, but sadly, the construction was abandoned. Felipe Angeles is nice too and is way cheaper than building this one, but it's too far away from Mexico City. I hope at some day they could restart the construction because Mexico City really needs a large and close airport.
(From Google Maps the runway shape looked like 5km long. You can measure it.)

This is a seperate airfield from the former RAF Induna, which was located about 1.5km south from Induna Aerodrome. Seemed to be in use up until after 2010.

I have already changed the Wikipedia link to the current airport, and I will leave the link to the former Halwara Air Force Station here.

A pretty famous airport known for its dangerous approach, since it's built on a cliff. Pilots approach with the "Terrain" warning. For the approaching video, here's a link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXECFuWzokQ
First comment.
The construction of the airport had already completed in 2019. However, the satellite image was taken before the completion of the airport.
re: Very close to border
Yeah, if you turn to map mode, you can see that part of the airport is literally just the border, pretty cool.

Not international anymore, all international flights have moved to Palmerola(XPL) in 2021. It remains for domestic and general aviation.

Great spot to fly into for a meal, if you don't mind a dirt strip.

Serving over 10 million passengers every year, way busier than the Galeao Airport.
re: 1
Reply to @zzj: Lmao youβre actually spouting this nonsense while calling others "pretty stupid"? Hilarious. Even basic, UN-recognized facts like "Taiwan is part of China" are way over your head. Go invent your own UN and declare your house independent first, since you love making up fake realities so much.

Reply to @samisaber:
Bro Morrocans always think that where they occupy by force is their own. You're too naive, Western Sahara does not belong to Morroco just like Crimea does not belong to Russia.

Really busy, pushed by the tourism.

It's the second largest airport after the one in Mogadishu, but it was marked as a small airport. How ridiculous.
re: First comment.
Reply to @I_Am_So_Handsome: Not a major airport, long runway required due to high elevation. Currently only one commercial flight per day.

The name had changed from Taif Regional Airport to Taif International Airport, having international flights to multiple countries.
First Comment.
Renovated in 2024. There wasn't a terminal before the renovation; instead, it was two thatched cottages serving as the VIP passenger terminal, and the runway was gravel instead of paved asphalt. For more images, see Google Maps here: www.maps.app.goo.gl/PvGBto6pL2BN9H9a9 . A Chinese Vlogger recorded a video before the renovation, recording the details of the airport: www.youtube.com/watch?v=28ujFzs65O4 οΌAlthough he was speaking Mandarin, you can see the video about what it looked like).
re: Not yet finished
Reply to @animebirder:
Opened in October 2024, replaced the old Codrington Airport.
Permanently Closed
The airport is permanently closed and replaced by the Burton Nibbs International Airport in October 2024.
re: History
Reply to @Bollardant2:
History Update
Initially, the airport was equipped with a sand packed landing ground measuring 1,006 by 1,006 meters. The landing ground is depicted in a 1945 Survey of Egypt map of Jeddah. Between 1945 and 1956, two of said original runways were installed. Another runway was built in the 1960s, and a final runway sometime in 1979. The crosswind runway was inoperable by 1979, as it is depicted as being demolished. The 1980 Airports of the World book had probably reported on this airfield using older data.

Per comment, "... downgrades any hope of it being anything but a small, regional airport". so far seventeen home base members have not considered this a major airport.

Used to be a commercial airport until 2013, and now a military air base.

Really cool airport. Such a long runway, has quite a lot of cargo flights.

One of the best airports in Philipines, with a beautiful approach and modern facilities. Although it is currently only domestic, but plans are underway to make it a fully functional international gateway. A 4.5 rating on Google Maps.

As of February 2026, the airport only operates one flight to Auckland.

This is the only international airport in the world that does not have its runway lit. The airport is closed at night and is used by island residents to host festivals, etc. It only has flights to Fiji operated by Fiji Airways about three or four times a week. Hence, I've decided to change it back to a medium airport because it does not really function as a major hub.

This is one of the very few airports in Sudan that are well-paved and lit. It is incredible.

Jining's new airport, opened in November 2023, replaced the old Jining Qufu Airport. Check the satellite image on Google Maps, maps.app.goo.gl/DofDfVEwgBHnabvRA , the airport was already completed in 2022, but the satellite image here hasn't been renewed yet.

Additionally, there's another airport in Pointe Noire, DRC, called Antonio-Agostinho-Neto International Airport, named after the same person. Don't mix them up.

A super new airport that officially opened in Nov 2023(started international flights in October 2025). The old airport's flights will gradually transfer to this airport.
