Thank You

Old runways
Just spotted it while flying over this past week . Good to know in case of emergency landing is necessary
Land here to see the whales
Gravel strip in good condition. No services. Nearest fuel is @ MMLT.
When the gray whales are in the lagoon, this is where to land to take a boat out to see them.
FSX simulator version
Lovely little airfield, I often land here in the simulator.

mosquitoes amidst improvement
the situation in any of the lounges and rest rooms and waiting areas is horrible. the airport is flooded with mosquitoes at all times. I do agree that the airport has improved but cleanliness and mosquitoes leave a lot to be desired. also at night the lounge on domestic side is horrendously noisy..... last time I was there at 1am on 26th Feb 2016 they tried hanging a massive Chevrolet ad up on the ceiling...... at the end of 2 hours of shouting the whole thing came crashing down.... of course there was panic and half the fellows thought it was an attack and lay flat on ground!! Noise and mosquitoes is a great combo at night to give you a solid headache the next day through.
KLIZ
It was always a tough and long approach as a TACAN APP 17,000 ft, at PQI decent and right turn to RWY-1 and winters are much harder.
Closed?
This is a military airfield, bombed by NATO in 1999. Based on the satellite photo, the runway does appear to be maintained.
Reported as (temporarily) closed
According to Wikipedia, this airport is closed as of December 2015, but there are plans to reopen it for low-cost carriers.
Refugee camp
The airport has sadly been converted into a refugee camp. It cannot be used for aviation any more.
What is the project date to start the flights ??

regarding helicopter service from kolkata to digha
My self A. N. Khan I want to about the time table of helicopter service from Kolkata to Digha and also want to know about the process for Ticket Booking and place where from booking happened.
Why?
Can you provide a list of names of airports on the opposite coastline of Antarctica? And why can't Google Maps display satellite photos or views on the south pole, when it can clear be seen using Google Earth Pro? Makes no sense at all!
Best airport ever....
Love to use this airport .and will tell others to use this wonderful airport. Always using this airport when this airport got international status and never got any kind of problem.

Korean War history
US Marines captured this airbase in 1950, and used it to provide air support for the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Chosin_Reservoir before later evacuating. See the airport's Wikipedia article for more information.
re: complaint about immigration officials
Travelling through Oliver Tambo in December was a bitter experience. What is going on? on the 3rd December 18.00hrs.
We were a family of 5 travelling with friends who were connecting onto the BA to London . Our flight was delayed and we had 40 minutes to get through transit( why we need our passports stamped I will never understand) and collect our boarding passes from the ticket offices before proceeding to the security check. I ran to the front of the queue and received permission for the gentleman in front of the queue explaining my situation. He was most kind and let us go through - On arriving at the desk I was scorned and laughed at by a lady immigration official who told me to get to the back of the queue. Once again I showed her the ticket and explained our situation. She shouted and told us all to proceed to the back. I was determined to get some assistance and requested that she please assist us. A neighboring official abruptly got out of his cubicle aggressively stormed toward us and Screamed and shouted at us as if wee had committed a crime. He said - "GET TO THE BACK OF THE QUEUE - DONT THINK THAT BECAUSE YOU DO THAT IN YOUR COUNTRY YOU CAN DO THAT HERE!" I was completely stunned - An Australian lady in the queue and an elderly Nigerian gentleman called and asked us please to go in front of them as they too were embarrassed at the way this officer was treating us. If this is the welcome into South Africa as a transit point - i shudder to think what its like when you are entering - Surely it is common sense to have a fast track or lane for business class travellers or under an hour connection queue without having to beg and be humiliated. Disgusted.
No airport visible
Marking as closed for now
It doesn't Exists...
I guess it was a joke or something like that. This place is between dangerous mountains... pleased delete it!!! (I don't know how to do that)
Navaids in wrong place
Both NDB and VOR are at the south west of the runway. In satellital pictures, like Google it could be seeing..
1999 Kosovo peace agreement signed here
Both NDBs deleted
I've removed both of the decommissioned NDBs formerly associated with the airport.
Friendly, great fuel price and a courtesy car!
Great airport to stop at, the super friendly fuel system owner gave me a beverage and helped me fuel my airplane; the courtesy car was a great thing to have use of too.
Appears closed
I can see traces of the old runways, still, but this doesn't look like an operational airport. Please leave a comment if you have any further information.
Be ready to wait
Takes too much time to get in from custom

As of the fall of 2015. We lost the owner, Gord Farrow. The field is unknown at this time having to do with maintenance. .
re: IPhone app
OurAirports does not produce any iPhone or Android apps — perhaps you were looking at an app that uses the open data that we publish.
IPhone app
I downloaded your approach CA iPhone app and it doesn't work

Close it
@Bill35's location is only 0.74 nautical miles from my location. Still doesn't look like an airport.
Local
Been there when they had a BBQ and auction for a blimp
Possible alternative location
@Bill35 found a different location in a 1996 Tactical Pilotage Chart (UK Ministry of Defence military survey): -17.0049 30.8961
Zooming in shows something that might once have been a runway there, though it's much rutted and crossed by paths now. I wonder if Zimbabwe is simply reluctant to let international authorities know about how much infrastructure it has let decay during its decades of economic trouble, so it wants to keep this on the books (number of airports is one of the indicators used in international development).
In any case, we need to decide (a) whether to move the marker per the 1996 chart, and (b) whether to mark the airport as "closed" based on its visible state in the sat view. Thoughts?
Start the airport ....take jalgaon to glory
Start the airport at the earliest.... Connectivity is the first major step towards development n for the convenience of people here please start flights to pune n Mumbai
