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

re: IPhone app
OurAirports does not produce any iPhone or Android apps β perhaps you were looking at an app that uses the open data that we publish.

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
Think about the passagers.
We have now been sitting on a plane at OR Tambo for 50min because of bad weather - which is definately not the airports fault. However, when we are told that we are nr 13 in line to take off (after 50min), my question is "Why did you not give the flight a delayed status and leave us in the airport building where we would at least be comfortable and could get something to eat". Your conveniance when it comes to staying on schedule should not be put above your customers wellbeing. Sitting on a plane for an extra hour - means the Cape Town flight is now 3 hours long!!!!!!
Solar Powered !
The airport is now completely powered by a solar farm situated right next to it. Zoom in on the map to the north west of the terminals.

Awaiting the reopen of Neyveli Airport
As many people are overseas and some from nearby towns around naively are in major cities in India, I am very sure Neyveli airport will run profitably. So, I request the government of India and the airport authorities to reconsider reopening the airport at least few days a week in the beginning.
You may also note that most of the employees in the NLC are from other parts of the states too. So, the operation of Neyveli will be quite useful to the public and successful.
Awaiting your response.
Thank You.

runway repair
Is there any repair being done to the runway of the international airport? How long will this go on? And what is its effect on airlines take-off/landing?
Maybe?
It's still in my Eurocontrol/EAD data dump, although the location is slightly different. It still doesn't look like much of an airport on Google Earth, though.
mumbai,pune
is it any flights from kolhapur to mumbai or pune?

Marked as closed until we have new information.
Great Saturday Pancake Breakfast!!!
Went to the monthly pancake breakfast at Modesto. It's on the second Saturday of every month. Some aircraft are on display so families can check out the planes after the breakfast. 6 bucks for a lot of good food. Not a bad deal at all. Controllers are also some of the friendliest I've ever heard, made me feel welcome!
Will be back!
