Damn this new fangled Interweb thing.

[brianw999]

By any chance would it be Princess Juliana International Airport, St Maarten ?

[AJ]

No Brian, sorry.

Or are you answering from several months ago too?

[brianw999]

Addison Airport, Dallas. 7202 foot runway. Nearby heritage centre.

Bit of a hopeful try really.

[brianw999]

...or are we looking for one of the BIG heritage sites ?

[AJ]

Certainly bigger than a Center.

[brianw999]

Could the search area be narrowed a tad ?

[AJ]

Yes.

It is in Asia.

[brianw999]

Varanasi Airport, Uttar Pradesh, India ?

...although I think the heritage area might be a bit small.

[AJ]

No mate.

It is just under 1000ft above sea level.

[AJ]

They have a runway extension planned in the next two years.

Edit a few minutes later: Last but not least: "The city was formerly the capital of a kingdom of the same name. Until the communist takeover in 1975, it was the royal capital and seat of government of the Kingdom of Laos. The city is also notable as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
