  • 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?

      • 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.

          • 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.

              • 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.

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

                      • 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.
