If you can find passenger data then it can be added.

I would try and see if I could find some.

*edit*
Da*n, this is hard. A lot harder than China and Greece. I have come across the ICAO data and I am wondering whether I should sign up for the free trial :?

EDIT:
here we go for the only airport we'll probably only need, Antananarivo:
Name: Ivato International Airport
Country: Madagascar
Code: TNR
Pax: 500,000
Cargo: 22,000
Runway: 10,171ft
Coor: 18°47′49″S, 47°28′44″E

No. It is easy to find all the other information. In fact all other information of all airports in Madagascar is listed on Madagascar Airport Authority's website (Airporte de Madagascar... or some french similar).

The problem is to get the pax and cargo data, which according to the rule in AM, you can't make up.

@admins, plz don't add this airport yet

Yeah, we want relatively accurate (and recent) passenger and cargo data as a basis.

btw. there is a thread for suggesting airports in the Game Data section.

This sort of... information deficiency, tends to be why although we strive to add as many airports as we can as well as accurately as possible, it tends to be finding the pax/cargo data that causes issues.
