Name that Airport

[KGEG]

Angeles,Philippines near the capital of Manila. It doesn't have Los in its name like the one in the US. Diosdado Macapagal is the airports name.

Am I right or wrong?

You sir are.........


..........drum roll.........

RIGHT !
Over to you.

So what I did to decide on what one to do next I closed my eyes and turned my atlas to a random page and set my finger down and where my finger landed I chose the nearest airport.

This airport is in the same vicinity as the mountain that shares its name.

Fuzhou Changle International Airport, China. ?

Named after the nearby Mt Fu.

[KGEG]

Well I am well aware of Fuzhou and where it is and I have been there in my simulator a few times, but I didn't know that about it!

It is not in Asia. It straddles the border of two countries.

Annecy – Haute-Savoie – Mont Blanc Airport.

Mont Blanc mountain straddles the French/Italian border.

[KGEG]

Sorry. I didn't realize how many airports fit my criteria! But that makes for a much better game anyway.

11 airlines serve it, one of those only serves it seasonally.

The name of the airport operator also shares the name of the mountain in its name.

[KGEG]

Alright, here is another long awaited clue. The equator is not too far away from this place.

[brianw999]

Kilimanjaro International Airport, Tanzania.

Named after Mt Kilimanjaro which straddles the Tanzanian/Kenyan border. 11 airlines, one seasonal as below....

Air Burundi	Bujumbura
Airkenya Express	Mombasa, Nairobi
Condor	Frankfurt
Edelweiss Air	Seasonal: Zürich
Ethiopian Airlines	Addis Ababa, Nairobi
Fly540	Nairobi
KLM	Amsterdam
Precision Air	Dar es Salaam, Entebbe, Mwanza, Nairobi, Zanzibar
Regional Air Services	Tanzania
RwandAir	Kigali
ZanAir	Zanzibar

Great work! I was about to just give the answer away.

[brianw999]

OK then.....

It lies on a latitude line another 6 degrees or so further south than the last airport.

The single runway crosses all of the other three that are no longer in use.

[brianw999]

X marks the spot.....twice actually.

Or 8 "V's" , depends how you look at it.

[brianw999]

Not on the same continent as the last one.

[brianw999]

Opened as a civil airport. Military during WW2 then back to civil. Was a strategic location for airlines operating on one particular route..

[brianw999]

You need to be like, nuts, to go to this country !
