Name that Airport

[jkstark]

No - China is also on the wrong continent.

Airport serves a city with the same name as the province that the city is in - which sounds like it could be in the US, although that is also the wrong continent. (Ie. not in Asia nor North America)

Could also be an old willow...

Need to get something clear here.

The city is specifically in the PROVINCE of the same name ?

Specifically not a region, not a county, not a canton, not a municipality etc. ?

[jkstark]

Specifically in the PROVINCE - you are correct.

[brianw999]

Sauce Viejo Airport, Argentina ?

[jkstark]

There it is! I thought the last one had you on the right track with it...

You're up!

[brianw999]

Viejo = old. Yes I understand that. But where does the "willow" and "dad" come into the clue ?
Anyway, back soon with another one.

[jkstark]

Sauce -> Willow...

Dad through the use of viejo as a reference to old man (dad)... I don't have the reference to that relatively obscure clue handy right now though...

[brianw999]

3 airlines serving. Homer Simpson might fly with them !

[jkstark]

I'm going to guess that it is not the obvious Homer, AK...

[jkstark]

However, Abraham Lincoln Capital Airport might fit the bill...

[brianw999]

As soon as I used the Simpson clue I figured it would be too easy. Over to you.

[jkstark]

To be honest, I only knew of two Springfields initially - IL and MA...

So...

This airport is currently has the closest land based runway to a sweet city, although won't be for very long.

[brianw999]

Let's try Istanbul Ataturk.

New airport to be built on the Black Sea coast. Turkey...Turkish delight...my favourite sweet confection.

[jkstark]

Not quite so... The sweet refers to the city, not a country.

The airport does not officially serve this city, just happens to be the closest to it. A new airport is in the works for this city however.

[jkstark]

Island nation...
