Hi, the editing team do not take requests. There is a design issue at the airport according to GitHub, and I’m sure it’s going to be fixed sooner or later

I’m over the moon that Bosnian airports finally got fixed as well as UUEE, they either had no gates or were completely broken. So good work on that IFAET!
But I still believe personally wayyyyy too many American airports airfields are being given too much attention which perfectly fine unlike the many Romanian, Ukrainian and Turkish international airports which either don’t have gates or don’t exist.

The Editing Team are fully aware. It’s going to try and be integrated with the other runway directly next to it, which I believe is a different airport under a different ICAO.

Basically in short, whatever we build in our software, only comes under as one airport meaning they wouldn’t have different ICAO’s, and we can’t simply ‘snap’ the two together. What’s being done is complete precision to get the two airports together, no set time is made for any completion. :)


I’m just explaining in as much detail as I can for you, so you are aware and be rest assured that work is underway over time and as imagery improves. 🙂

I swear there’s a form somewhere to notify the IFAET of any issues with airports, not sure if that still exists. As said above, you can join the team if you want to do it yourself.

Great work all of you! It’s been great seeing the happiness of some members with their home airports being edited. 😃


I just happened to start a 4 hour car journey, and had to update with mobile data… waah.
