I'm looking over my chart of the Middle East gates I own in #2208, and there seems to be a couple of inconsistencies.

First of all, gates in Abu Dhabi cost 100,000. However, it has more passengers than Kuwait (along with quite a few others) yet Kuwait (along with quite a few others) costs more (150,000) than Abu Dhabi.

Airport   
IATA   Airport Name   Gates   Cost
AUH   Abu Dhabi International   72   €100,000
ICAO   Passengers   Cargo   Country
OMAA   9,020,000   862,172    United Arab Emirates

Airport   
IATA   Airport Name   Gates   Cost
KWI   Kuwait International Airport   128   €150,000
ICAO   Passengers   Cargo   Country
OKBK   8,125,617   197,214    Kuwait

The same issue arises with Tblisi, except the other way around. It has fewer passengers than Bandar Abbas and other 50,000 airports, yet gates at Tblisi cost 100,000.

Airport   
IATA   Airport Name   Gates   Cost
BND   Bandar Abbas   39   €50,000
ICAO   Passengers   Cargo   Country
OIKB   772,775   4,067    Iran, Islamic Republic of

Airport   
IATA   Airport Name   Gates   Cost
TBS   Tbilisi International   94   €100,000
ICAO   Passengers   Cargo   Country
UGTB   615,230   1    Georgia

Good find!

Are the passenger numbers for these airport up to date? I'm thinking that especially Abu Dhabi might be a bit higher than 9 mio. Same for Dubai and Doha.

Sorry for the bump, but I've noticed this error in Asia as well.

IATA    Airport Name    Gates    Cost
LGK    Langkawi International    25    €50,000
ICAO    Passengers    Cargo    Country
WMKL    1,122,911    524    Malaysia

IATA    Airport Name    Gates    Cost
MMY    Miyako    82    €100,000
ICAO    Passengers    Cargo    Country
ROMY    1,082,428    10,262    Japan

Langkawi International's gates should cost 100,000 each.

Simple explanation: gate rental was not recalculated after updating the pax number. Some have seen declines in pax, while others have seen increases.

Most data above is dated 2008 or 2009.
