Duplicate airports?
I did a quick analysis of airports with very similar coordinates and got this:
```
There are 365 groups of airports with the same or extremely similar coordinates.

re: A Great Addition To Western Leyte Air Commuters
While devastated by Typhoon Haiyan/Yolanda and a subsequent 2017 earthquake, Ormoc Airport has since been rebuilt, with a new passenger terminal opened in 2019.

Pedong is in West Bengal, India
Pedong is listed here erroneously under list of Sikkim whereas it is in adjoining state of West Bengal. The correction of the inadvertent error is requested. Thanks in advance!
THE best airport!
Haneda is THE best airport that I know. Super efficient airport, and reasonably short ways for both domestic and international terminals. Haneda is situated in Tokyoβs Ota district, which is in South Tokyo (between Tokyo and Yokohama) and is therefore much closer to Tokyo than Narita, which is technically not even in Tokyo, but the neighboring prefecture of Chiba. If you are lucky and both wind and weather conditions align, you can get some really nice views of the city from above during ascend/descent with Fuji-san kn the background.
re: Name of the airport.
Iwo Jima originates from an English language misreading of the Japanese η‘«ι»ε³Ά IΕtΕ ("Sulfur Island") as "iwo shima" prior to World War II. This name has been immortalized in name of the battle fought here in 1945, but the proper and official name of the island is indeed IΕtΕ (or in older transliterations "Iwo To" or "Iwautau") with "Iojima" being a persistent but incorrect reading that is protested by the descendants of the people who lived here before evacuation during the war (and the subsequent and continuing use of the island as an air base).

Marjayoun airstrip (closed/abandoned)
Old British WWII airstrip.
Tel al Zaatar/Dekwaneh Airfield
This strip was used during the Lebanese civil war, and was closed when hostilities ended.
icao
ZFC0 is NOT an icao code, icao codes NEVER begin with Z. Then again, not much use arguing about an aerodrome that, to judge by satellite imagery, has long been abandoned.
Fatal accident 16 Mar 2023
A Shark.Aero Shark stalled and crashed here after a missed approach / aborted landing, killing two. Reference: ASN Wikibase Occurrence # 309293

https://airport1111.blog.ss-blog.jp/moriyaeast-airfield
Per this excellent Japanese airfield blog, Moriya (MFOC) Airfield was closed in 2020 due to damage from the previous year's Typhoon No 19.
Article from Asahi (2019)
https://www.asahi.com/articles/ASM5Q6QSMM5QUJHB00W.html
to paraphrase:
Moriya (Ultralight) Airstrip was evidently founded in 1985 on the floodplain of the Tone River, on land leased from private owners. Primary users were the Moriya Flying Users Club (about 40 general aviation enthusiasts), as well as helicopter operators Asahi Koyo and Japan Flight Safety for training purposes. However, the land was purchased from the previous owners by the Tone River Office (Kuki, Saitama) for use as a flood easement - Inatoi Reservoir (which is now visible adjacent to the remaining N-S runway).
Yeti Airlines Flight 691
Just 15 days into the operation of the new airport, Yeti Airlines Flight 691 inbound from Kathmandu, operating an ATR 72, went down along the Seti River between here and the old airport with all hands.

This is the Pai airport in Mae Hong Son province, not to be confused with the Mae Hong SΖ‘n airport VTCH.
Onomichi Floating Port vs Onomichi Seaplane Base
The actual name of this facility transliterates directly from katakana as "Onomichi Floating Port", but this is a "Japanese English" turn of phrase that does not work well for native English speakers (since "port" by itself is used for nautical and not aeronautical purposes), so I've taken the liberty of translating this to Onomichi Seaplane Base per our usual listing convention elsewhere. The literal transliteration is included in keywords.
2022 Update
Unlike its twin to the east-southeast, this ultralight airport continues to thrive for now.
Update 2022
N/S runway still appears intact, but hangar structures appear to have been demolished.
re: (no subject)
Reply to @espinielli: Clearly had to be towed or trucked there somehow, considering the lack of runway (or VTOL capability). Pretty wild.
Dibangun dalam beberapa tahun lagi..
Oke..
Dual-use facility
JMSDF Chichijima Airfield has both a seaplane ramp (ShinMaywa US-2 patrol flying boats) and a heliport.
Claimed as the highest airstrip in the world
At 16200 feet, this is definitely about as high-altitude as permanent facilities get. More information on the linked Wiki page, of course.

@david RPLP Legazpi Domestic is now a closed airport, and the IATA code of LGP has been properly transferred to RPLK Bicol International.
re: OurAirports doesn't delete closed airports
Reply to @animebirder: Thank you. Yes, that is correct. We keep closed airports in the database, but not closed heliports or floatplane bases (unless they have special historical interest; we haven't been too consistent, though). They are easy to filter out of the open data export.
OurAirports doesn't delete closed airports
Hi @mforte! My understanding is that closed airports remain on the database for historical records as well as to keep people informed for aviation safety reasons -- so pilots do not attempt to land there, but are aware the facility either exists or previously existed. There is also the chance that if a closed airport still exists, it may still be used in case of emergency (ie Air Canada Flight 143, 23/07/1983).
This also allows passengers and pilots to log historical visits that occurred in the past (ie my own visit to Hong Kong Kai Tak in 1980).
Cheers!
