Retro Master Airport List

[shakusun]

I found an article on Wikipedia on Medellin Airport in Colombia that Olaya Herrera Airport (EOH/SKMD) was operating mostly larger planes including international (the largest was a 707 at that time in the 1970s and 80s) until the opening of Jose Maria Cordova (MDE/SKRG) in 1985, which most larger planes were shifted to the new airport while the other stick with domestic regional flights.

1993 RJOA Hiroshima renamed -> RJBE Hiroshima-nishi (prop traffic only) and RJOA Hiroshima Reopened in different location (jet traffic only)
2012 RJBE Hiroshima-nishi closed and renamed -> Hiroshima heliport (helicopter traffic only)
All commercial traffic except helicopters have been consolidated into RJOA.

I have added a few in China since the last time I posted in this thread, maybe a few others. But just came across one I'm surprised I missed:

Fayetteville, Arkansas used KFYV until Feburary 1998, at which time KXNA opened and all traffic moved there. I'll make sure XNA and not FYV are used in the flightplans as I go back over them. Will have to go over them one by one anyway to make the plans into the MSFS format lol.

Also came across this, great information. Somehow since the old Doha airport is next to the current one, I didn't realize that it was a whole different airport. I'll make a quick scenery for that as well.

Panama City, Florida is another one I didn't realize. KECP opened in 2010 replacing KPFN.
