11/sect/2021 As part of the radio navigation aid decommissioning program carried out by ENAV in accordance with European regulations for the transition to PBN procedures, on September 9, 2021, the Bari Locator ‘BPL’ 401.00 kHz and the Sorrento NDB ‘SOR’ 426.00 kHz were officially shut down. Consequently, all NDB STARs, NDB SIDs (L) 07 and 25, RNAV DIVKU 3F, and ILS/LOC X 07 and L 07 procedures at Bari have been suspended. The navigation aids were turned off via NOTAM, and after an impact assessment period, their permanent removal will be made official in the AIP through the AIRAC cycle.
The next scheduled shutdowns involve the Locators and NDBs of Falconara (November 4), Turin (November 4), Linate (December 2), and Pescara (December 2), followed by Perugia, Reggio Calabria, Voghera, and Genoa by the end of the year.
Park at La Roseta and prepare for a one way hike of 12km.
The airport was built by Alvaro Rodriguez Lopez (1885-1958) as a private field. He was in business with Thomas Olsen (Fred Olsen) and planted a lot of bananas and tomatoes in southern La Gomera. The road construction to the airport was very demanding. Its impossible to drive along, maybe with an Enduro bike. You will find a gravel runway, a tower and a hangar big enough for a Beech 18. Its a very remote place but absolutely worth to go to!
Reports say that something like Britten Norman Islanders and Mitsubishi MU-2 landed there. It is also reported that they had to leave the runway uphill for building up enough speed for departure.
On sundays you will find hunters there shooting canejos. Can be a bit scary but they are very friendly.
Eppley is, for some reason, one of my favourite airports. It's small and easy to navigate, short on facilities, but big on charm. It has a welcoming atmosphere and is very peaceful on account of its light flight schedule. Its record annual passenger number is just over 5,000,000, so it's not a major hub and is totally free of the hustle and bustle you find in the airports of most major cities.
According to Wikipedia, it is ranked as the 61st busiest airport in the United States, but the number of passengers quoted on that list is less than half of what the airport itself claims. If we take the airport's figures as gospel, then it would rank as the 46th busiest airport in the US, but it's likely the numbers from airports surrounding it on the list are also higher than Wikipedia thinks.
For context, the top three airports by passenger numbers in 2024 were Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson, Dubai, and Dallas Fort Worth with 108,067,766, 92,300,000, and 87,817,864, respectively.
The fact that Dresden airport is still operational is a blessing for locals of the Saxon capital, but it is unfortunately vastly underused and massively underserved. Landsie facilities are sparse, with the ground level dotted with car rental kiosks, an information desk (for lost baggage and onward transport info, and the odd souvenir), and a newsagent that serves coffee (when it's open, which it isn't often). If you do want a warm drink before you go through security, there are a couple of machines, but they only take coins (no card). If you only have notes on you, there is a change machine to the left of the info desk as you enter the airport from the car park. Trains to the centre of Dresden (which stop in Neustadt and HbF) are found downstairs and run 18 and 48 minutes past the hour. Check in and security are on the first floor, and they are generally a doddle to clear. The only time you'd expect to wait is when you find yourself checking in with one of the three daily flights to Palma de Mallorca. Beyond that frequent shuttle service, not many end destinations are well served. There are regular flights to Frankfurt, Münich, and Düsseldorf, from which you can get pretty much anywhere with ease. There are a few flights a week to Zürich, and a relatively regular service to London Stansted throughout the summer, but the frequency is unreliable in the off-season.
There have been whispers for years that the airport will close, and the lack of investment in services doesn't bode well for that, but a connection to Antalya in Turkey was added recently, so maybe that's a good sign.
Airside, there is no external smoking area, but a small, ventilated cubicle has been added. There's a decent coffee shop, a small but well-stocked Duty Free, and a newsagent with souvenirs. It feels more like a bus terminal than an airport in many ways, which is no bad thing for frequent fliers. It's no frills, but no nonsense also. I have a soft spot for it as it's my local airport, but I do wish a few more connections to the UK and Ireland were added, and a direct daily flight to Geneva would be a Godsend for me. I'm not holding out hope for those to be added any time soon, though.
Another consideration is to change all the letter " Ä° " to the standard letter " I ". Searching for this airport on a standard English keyboard does not find it. For my database application I just do a search and replace on all of them in the csv file. Simple solution.
I just joined OurAirports yesterday. How does someone create a new message in these forums? I am a bit at loss. I have sent messages to the comments area, and have heard nothing back. Pretty frustrating. Thanks if you can help me.
After a drizzly arrival, we were welcomed by the people from the local inn. Call them beforehand. You might be so lucky to get a free coffee and cake, as we did.
Reply to @LongBranchFlyer: Last topographic map that depicted Newport Bay Airport was from 1951. It was no longer depicted in the 1956 topo map. It likely closed between 1951 and 1956 then. At the time, it was known as Balboa Airport shown with two structures and two runways in a reverse L shape. It was not depicted on a 1947 topo map, so it must had a very brief history.
re: change ICAO code prefix from UT to UZ from 2025-10-02
Originally, the Uttaradit Landing Ground served the Uttaradit province, located at 17°37′52″N 100°05′48″E. On 11 November, 1944, it had two runways, both overgrown and rendered unserviceable for aircraft use. Not much is known of the airfield’s history.
Beautiful location in the heart of Northern Bohemia within hilly countryside, Zakupy Castle just on the eastern border of the ATZ, Panska Rock (the Stone Organ) only a few minutes NW from the airport… To name some popular highlights in the vicinity of the airfield.
Friendly people inviting you to spend some time talking about the aviator’s stuff at the local bar… I can only recommend this place for a visit.
