Fiedl 'ident' in CSV file uses old ICAO (SPIM) instead of ne
I am reporting that the CSV dump of the airport DB for the 'ident' field still uses the old ICAO, SPIM, instead of the new one, SPJC.
My understanding is that the 'ident' field is about ICAO code, from the Data dictionary page (https://ourairports.com/help/data-dictionary.html):
"The text identifier used in the OurAirports URL. This will be the ICAO code if available. Otherwise, it will be a local airport code (if no conflict), or if nothing else is available, an internally-generated code starting with the ISO2 country code, followed by a dash and a four-digit number."

Please ignore the ATSA Arrivals/Departures question
My mistake. I see the flights now.
Why does ATSA not appear in the Arrivals/Departures?
The arrivals and departures include LATAM and many others, but not ATSA. Why not?
When Will Flights Resume?
ATSA Usually flies here, but stopped with the 2020 pandemic. Please reply if flights resume.
Long Walk
We had a very long walk to get back to the same gate we arrived at. We had a 2 hour layover while the Air Canada Boeing 777 was being cleaned. Deplaning ramp took us to the arrivals level and to get to the departures level for the same gate it must have been at least 2 km and we had to go past the retail stores and through security just to get to the upper level to re-enter the same aircraft. Maybe this sort of thing will be rectified when the new terminal now under construction gets finished.
