France's Base Aerienne 188 shares the north side of the field with the civilian terminal, while the US, Japan, and Djibouti itself have their military bases on the south side.

We had a flight on 25 Sep 2021 from IGIA ( New Delhi Terminal 3) to Colombo (Srilanka) at 4:15 pm (flight no-Al 281, seat no-20A, 20B, 20C, 20D). Between security checking and boarding gate 7B, we lost one handbag with expensive articles, important documents, and cash. and we realized this after boarding the plane. The in-flight staff was very cooperative.
However, a female ground staff (with a walkie-talkie in her hand) also checking the RTPCR report on gate no 7B was very rude. She misbehaved with my mother and my mom was pleading. Rather than helping us, she was harassing us. She even threatened to de-board us. She was behaving like she owns the flight and her language was very impolite and abusive(Abusive tone: "tere ko to main de-board karaungi..is aurat ko bahar nikal") this was the language used by that lady staff. She harassed my mother that much that my mother lost her consciousness & fainted in flight.
Is this the way to treat your passenger?? I want strict action against that lady staff. And, also I want to know what action you are taking.
I feel like this kind of person should not belong to any industry. I have a deep faith that GMR will help us and take strict action against that lady.
Good pm. I just got offloaded last Novemver 23, 2021. Sinabi ko kasi sa Immigrarion na ppuntahan ko yung filipino boyfriend ko sa dubai na matagal na andun, and nalaman nila na yung boyfriend ko gumastos ng visa and ticket pabalik while ung ticket papunta and other stuff, ako may gastos. Hinahanapan nila ko ng AOSG, un lang. Sabi ko sakanioa hindi ba for relatives lang un, need ko daw nun since sponsor ko daw si boyfriend. Nung nag call boyfriend ko sa embassy sa Dubai para sa AOSG, sabi nila for relatives lang nga daw un, so iniisip ko bakit ganun ang ginawa sakin sa Immigration, halos lahat ng documents namin both ng partner ko meron ako and all. Any suggestions kung ano po pwedeng gawin if mag try ako ulit mag rebook since next year pa mag eexpire and visa ko. Thankyou in advance!
This base and Akrotiri are actually part of the "Sovereign Base Areas of Akrotiri and Dhekelia", under UK governance but following mostly Cypriot law. Keeping them was part of the independence negotiations in 1960.

KLP used to be the IATA code for Kelp Bay in Alaska before that airport closed to be the IATA code for both this airport and many online data sources haven't been updated yet.
Unfortunately, that means that clicking on "Flights" will give you arrivals and departures for the wrong airport.
This triangular field was RCAF Detachment Granum (for the nearby town) and was the #1 relief field for No. 7 Service Flying Training School at Fort Macleod.
I do not like to start a debate, but pls note following: When creating entries for the airfields around El Wak, I added a comment in the entry for the disused city airport that there were possibly two other fields nearby. One of them (a gravel strip) was clearly visible approx. 7.5 kms to the west of the city, for which I created a new entry (KE-0212). I also added a link to the newspaper article which shows people celebrating the opening of what looks like a gravel strip. It is not clear whether this is the same strip of entry KE-0212). Lastly, OpenAIP has an airport HKEW at a location to the S of El Wak city. Although nothing is visible in satellite pictures, this could indeed refer to a stretch of the main road. I therefore have absolutely no problem of HKEW being added to the database with these coordinates, as David has done.
What bothers me somewhat is that this was not done by actually adding a new airport to the database, but by taking the entry for the gravel strip located to the W of the city, and changing its coordinates and designation (KE-0212 is now HKEW). Through this change we may well have a correct HKEW entry, but we have completely lost the gravel strip to the W of El Wak city from the database. I would propose that we do not do this in future and instead preserve other entrie (unless clearly wrong).
This helipad is right on the 1949 "Green Line". Based on user reports that it was under Israeli operation before 1967, I have assigned it to Israel rather than Palestine.
There is no information about runway orientation online. I estimated 07/25 based on the satellite photo and the magnetic variation of 8.5E. Please correct if you have more information.
this article suggested the new airport is a 2 km long straight stretch on a 10km road, so this location seems to fit the bill and matches the coordinates
This is the main airport for Somaliland, which is self-governing and de-facto independent, but still considered part of Somalia by the international community.
FAA is notoriously bad at plotting correct lat/longs of heliports. This probably did exist somewhere within a 5 mile radius of this spot. AirNav doesn't list RI14 anymore at any rate.
