IATA code confirmation please?

I just added the IATA code ESP to this airport, and I'm not 100% sure. IATA code lookup shows ESP assigned to "Birchwood-Pocono" in East Stroudsburg, which has been closed since 1996: (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birchwood-Pocono_Airpark) However, a few non-authoritative sources have ESP assigned to this airport (do a Google search for "N53 ESP"). Can anybody please confirm this change?

Multiple IATA/ICAO codes

According to Wikipedia (and verified in IATA code search) this airport has three active IATA codes: "BSL (Basel) is the Swiss code, MLH (Mulhouse) is the French code and EAP (EuroAirport) is the neutral code."

Is there a good way to store all three values in the IATA field? Maybe all three codes separated by delimiting characters something like "BSL/EAP/MLH"? Or must there only be one IATA code?

It also appears to have two ICAO codes: LFSB and LSZM.

I think this airport may be closed, can anybody else please verify?

re: closed?

Reply to @ptomblin: Thanks for the quick confirmation! What is the EAD data that you refer to? Is this a publicly available source on airport info?

closed?

As best I can tell, this airport has no actual code assigned. Doing a code search on IATA's site (http://www.iata.org/publications/Pages/code-search.aspx) for PNO yields no results. I suspect the airport might be closed. Can anybody else verify?
