We’ll considering the amount of airports and the amount of people that do atc, there are really a lot of airports you could put in here. (You can’t fill every airport with ATC)

Anyway my favourite airports are often small so there will never(maybe sometimes) be atc.

Do any of them have a ICAO code and can you name some of them. :)

Yep sorry I meant to send that, but I forgot🤦‍♂️

Hong Kong (I know that’s big)
Buoches (it’s in Switzerland)
Calvi (it’s not called like that in IF, but it’s north of Corsica)

I have a few more that I can’t really remember the name of, but there you go some nice places.

Pretty much the whole mainland China! Such a unexplored region with massive airports like,

ZBAA, Beijing Capital
ZSPD, Shanghai Pudong
ZGGG, Guangzhou Baiyun

I’ve literally almost never seen people in that region even though it has high quality satellite…

YMER it’s not reworked but it’s nice. Short 20min flight to YMRY. Two really nice airports situated in the Aussie coastline

KCVG. They get IFATC every now and then, but never on TS.

I feel like with the addition of global, Tyler and the team have made sure that there arent any airports in particular that gets more attention than another, to encourage others to explore other areas. I’d say that I would like ALL airports to get more attention, which of course is only achievable through more IFATC.

KSJC; San Jose International Airport

I guess KSFO nearby is more known, but I do see some people heading to and departing from KSJC. XD

Also KDEN and KSLC; Denver International Airport and Salt Lake City Airport

KFLL, it seems KMIA steals the thunder when ATC is in Florida.

I would expect KSEA to be more active. I think it had a really nice layout, and it’s my home airport ;)

Never thought I would be saying this, but KDFW. “Don’t mess with Texas” doesn’t mean ATC shouldn’t mess with Texas, they should do more ATC there!
