Title: Missing Airports
Post by: Michael on October 27, 2007, 10:01:54 pm

We can put here the names of airports still missing in the game.

My first suggestion:

GENOA (GOA) in Italy.

Moved.

Find the pax and cargo traffic, the runway length and teh airport location, and then submit them using the above link. The pax and cargo traffic should be no older than 2004, preferably 2006, real life data.

The average time is... in due time. They will get approved based on hpscot08's schedule.

Would it be possible to submit suggestions to modify exising airport data? For example I notice that LEJ Leipzig, Germany had more than 20.000 tons of Cargo in 2006 and not ~7.000 like in the game. I know Cargo is not important at this point of time but it will be when Cargo is available.

I am trying to submit some airports but I do not know the format of to submit the latitude and longitude.  In what format do you want the latitude and longitude? Can you please give me a website to retrieve this information?  What is GCM and where do I find it?

Also, I have a couple of different websites I am retrieving my information, do I separate the websites with a comma (,) or semicolon (;)

Thanks.

Lat and Long should be in decimal form. You can retrieve them from Great Circle Mapper (GCM) most of the time. The address is http://gc.kls2.com/

You can seperate the sources with comma or semicolon. It doesn't matter as long as we can read the sources and verify the information.

Try this site for United States passenger loads...

I haven't found a site with cargo tonnage, however.

The Bureau of Transportation Statistics has handy-dandy fact sheets available online for every single airport in the United States with scheduled air service, listing passenger and cargo/mail traffic.

http://www.transtats.bts.gov/airports.asp?pn=1&Airport=SHR&Airport_Name=Sheridan,%20WY:%20Sheridan%20County&carrier=FACTS

That's the sheet for Sheridan County Airport in Wyoming, for example.

Our tax dollars at work :)

I just added a bunch of missing California and Wyoming airports with the data from this service.

To find airports that aren't in the dropdown menu, just click "Show all airports" underneath it.

For pax, are you adding together arriving & departing, or assuming it is the same person?

Add the numbers together.

Yep, add them together - total traffic.

Ive posted 3 airports in this game, all of them is on Corsica (Ajaccio Campo Dell Oro, Calvi St Catherine and Figari Sud Corse). Is there still any commercial airports to add? Seems like every new airport in the game is just GA airports.

There are lots of airports to add. It is just hard to find (reliable) pax data for them. You may look for airports in Africa, Middle/South America and even in Europe. There are some airports that started scheduled service this year. Thats why there are no pax data available yet. An example for that is Allgau Airport (Memmingen, Germany). TUIfly started scheduled service 28th June 2007. As of 21st October they had 100,000 pax so far. I think they may have around 230,000 pax in 2008.  :roll:
