Airport comments for Asia

Strictly speaking, not in Cyprus
This base and Dhekelia are actually part of the "Sovereign Base Areas of Akrotiri and Dhekelia", under UK governance but following mostly Cypriot law. Keeping them was part of the independence negotiations in 1960.
IATA code
KLP used to be the IATA code for Kelp Bay in Alaska before that airport closed and many online data sources haven't been updated yet.
Unfortunately, that means that clicking on "Flights" will give you arrivals and departures for the wrong airport.
Opened in 2018
Closed in 2018
Replaced with https://ourairports.com/airports/WALS/
Appears closed
No sign of aircraft or buildings, and the pavement is in bad shape. Marking as closed pending more information.
Right on the green line
This helipad is right on the 1949 "Green Line". Based on user reports that it was under Israeli operation before 1967, I have assigned it to Israel rather than Palestine.

Gyrofield, you say?
Per this exceptional decade-long blog featuring WW2 Japanese installations (the link for this particular location is here https://airport1111.blog.ss-blog.jp/matsunami-airstrip but is in Japanese), this was the staging area for the use of Kayaba Ka-1 (reverse-engineered Kellett KD-1) observation autogyros which were used here primarily for submarine spotting.

Repurposing duplicate
This was previously a duplicate heading for Mestia Airport -- it's been repurposed for a heliport near Tbilisi.

Sometimes HEMS helicopters land there, usually there are stupid car drifters are at the helipad, drifting and chilling...

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.
Repurposing duplicate
Since I am unable to merge, I'm repurposing this heading for a different aviation facility in India.
@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?
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.
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.
Zhuqi heliport,the base of Fuzhou police
It is a heliport that for civil , police and rescue.It is a controlled airport but aren't equipped with ILS. The police helicopter,Ec155,will take off to petrol. An KA-32 and Mi-8 always park here.

Here here yes Elizabeth Here
Crisis averted!
I've repurposed this duplicate to cover a different airfield.
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.
Wrong information redacted.
I couldn't find any IATA or ICAO info on this airstrip, so I've removed "TUYO" and moved "TUY" to a local code, though this is questionable at best. At least we know there's an airstrip here, not much else to go on.
Where to Find Official Sentani Airport Information
To find official aeronautical data, go to:
https://aimindonesia.dephub.go.id/index.php?page=product-aip-electronik-vol123.html&id_aip=120
Alternatively, go to https://aimindonesia.dephub.go.id, register for a free account, and sign in. After logging in, in the left tab, go to Produk>>AIP Elektronik>Vol I, II, II>Vol II>AD 2>Sentani (or Jayapura). On that page, the default is the textual information. There's an upper tab that says "AIP Elektronik" or "Chart". Select "Chart" to see a listing of the airport diagrams, Instrument Approach Procedures, etc.
Cheers!
About the helipad
Helipad is next to the hotels, and in a field surrounded with trees, don't know when it built but it looks old, probably built for customers coming to hotels but I guess no one used it...
Strictly speaking, not in Cyprus

This base and Akrotiri are actually part of the "Sovereign Base Areas of Akrotiri and Dhekelia", under UK governance but following mostly Cypriot law. Keeping them was part of the independence negotiations in 1960.
