Airport Problem Details Status Created Updated Last comment
Satsuma Iƍjima Airport Wrong airport information (name, codes, frequencies, runways, etc)

This airport has 'ident' equal to 'ZZZZ' in the database/CSV file which is a reserved ICAO code to identify an unknown airport, see [1].

I would suggest NOT to use ZZZZ

Katsuragawa Gliderfield Non-existant/spam airport

Please refer to this website for more information on this Taisho-era flying field which may have been the first intentional aviation facility in Kyoto. https://airport1111.blog.ss-blog.jp/katsuragawa-gliderfield

The prefecture should be listed as Fukushima in order to be consistent with Hiroshima and Shimane (which use the same "shima" character).
