    • Silverstone heliport? And can be busiest in the British Grand Prix Weekend, and most cannot land there as it is an helipad?

      Silverstone Northern Heliport has a CAA Ordinary Licence (Number P874) that allows flights for the public transport of passengers or for flying instruction as authorised by the licensee (Silverstone Circuits Limited). The aerodrome is not licensed for night use.

      The world record for the worlds busiest airport for one day, was the heliport at the Silverstone during the 1999 British Formula 1 Grand Prix. There were 4200 documented aircraft movements (1 movement being a landing or a takeoff) in one day from dawn till dusk. The airfield was fully licensed and used a sophisticated air traffic control service, using six full air traffic control radio frequencies and a continuous message broadcast (ATIS) service, operated by a team of 24 air traffic controllers. This achievement was even more remarkable as it was coordinated completely on a VFR (Visual Flight Rules) basis without the assistance of radar or any other electronic navigation aids.

              • Is it Goma? This airport had part of its runway covered in magma after a nearby volcano erupted.

                    • Stepanavan airport in the Armenian province of Lori, it has runway number 13/31.


                      edit: digging a bit further. Ultimate Dudes, Local Services, or for short UDLS, is the ICAO code for the airport.

                          Yeah, Lori really gate it away.

                          Next one:
                          This airport has two terminals. The older of the two terminals is the more modern one!

                          • Cairo International Airport?
                            Terminal 1 is locally known as the "Old Airport," although its facilities were recently given a complete overhaul and are newer than those of Terminal 2, which is still known as the "New Airport."
                            It has 3 terminals, but Terminal 2 is in renovations, so that's why you said 2?
