Comment thread "Change of designator" for Palma De Mallorca Airport

Shown on map as a light airfield however the parallel runways and major terminal complex show that it is a major internatioanl airport with many millions of passengers transitting each year. The third busiest airport in Spain, after Madrid & Barcelona

Thanks for the corrections, bru25l. We actually had two copies of this airport in the database, one under LESJ and one under LEPA. I removed the old copy and updated the proper one to show that it's a major airport.

The DAFIF record for this airport shows both ids. I assume it's one for the civil part and one for the military part. It also has "Palma De Mallorca" and "Son San Juan" shown as names.

So which one are you going with?

For the identifier, I'm sticking with Wikipedia and using LEPA as the primary one. The Wikipedia article also mentions that Son San Joan Airport is the previous name. I have the other code and the older name in keywords, so that they'll still show up for searches.
