The airport opened in 2017, but as of 2020-08-28, it is not yet visible in the satellite imagery that ESRI is kindly providing (Saint Helena is probably not a high priority for updates). You can, however, see it on the aviation charts, and on Google Maps satellite imagery: https://goo.gl/maps/ocmANAj38hMpKrHW6

A great 45 Min Documentary about this Airport
