Multiple Chinese airports missing

[RIZ003]

Can’t find some airports in Xinjiang, is this a known issue?

Yining Airport (not a small airport!)

Aksu Prefecture airport

Could anyone enlighten me as to why these airports are absent from the game? Thanks!

We can’t add new airports atm, it’s a system limit
Once the limit is lifted we will add more airports

It seemed that during the stage of development the team was in a scarcity of public data in regard to airports in China. Hope they could be added with lifted limit in the future.

It’s mostly due to how open each country’s data sources have historically been. For as far as I can remember, the FAA publishes all the relevant aviation data in a standardized format, which has made it easy for aviation tools like Infinite Flight to use this data to build a pretty accurate representation of every airport, grass strip, etc. This has not been the case globally and the quality of aviation data varies a lot.

Our data is growing in China and other regions thanks to editors who are knowledgable with the respective region. As you noted, we don’t support adding new airports right now due to some development constraints (it’s on our list, in the past year we have been focusing on our new renderer), but this is something we wish to look at in the near future.

You can refer to the description of the above staff.
