#bot #MetaAI , #disinformation #airport circular sources - Where is the thruth ?
Kolokope Airport was added to #OpenStreetMap 12 years ago, is cited on #Wikipedia #ourairports, have a #ICAO code which make it look with some traffic and more official, but official ICAO site not accessible to confirm. Infos proposed on Navigational , Weather, Rental cars sites ... But does it really exist? Where the original info comes from ? Anyway, aerial images do not confirm it.

Continued thread

And the winner is:

International Airport, code: NIUE.

Found using the list from datahub.io/core/airport-codes and this Perl code:

#!/usr/bin/env perl -an -F,

use strict;

my $icao = $F[0];

next unless $icao =~ m/[A-Z][A-Z][A-Z][A-Z]/;

foreach my $name(split(/ /,$F[2].' '.$F[7])) {
if (uc($icao) eq uc($name)) {
print $icao, ' ', $F[2], ' ', $F[7], "\n";
}
}

Ignoring two matches with bogus data: BOBS and SWYX.

IATA check left as an exercise to readers.
