At an elevation of 14,219 feet AMSL, this is the world's highest airport with scheduled airline service, nearly 1,000 feet higher than El Alto Airport (SLLP) in Bolivia.

The first I visited this airport was in February 2006. I came back twice, the last time in August 2007. I must say that it improved rather a lot. It felt much more cleaner and re-structured in a more logical way. Customs are very precise, but friendly, and all the rest of the personell is friendly anyway. It does not have all the comforts of European airports, but it is getting better.

This airport opened in January 2008, replacing the old Bacolod Domestic Airport, which had the same ICAO and IATA identifiers.

The word "Baiyun" means "white cloud", which is an inauspicious name for an airport. However, it makes a good name for a cockatiel: http://gallery.xcski.com/v/paulart/photo_contest/baiyun.jpg.html
This airport closed in 2004, and its name and airport codes transfered to the new airport 12 nm to the north: CAN ZGGG

This is the only controlled airport in East Timor, and the only one with scheduled airline service (to Darwin, Australia, and Denpasar, Indonesia.

This field opened for military use in 1914, and received its first airline flights in 1924. It was a major US airbase during the Vietnam war, as well as Bangkok's main civilian airport until the new Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) opened in 2006. It's currently a joint-use military civilian airport, hosting the Royal Thai Air Force's 1st Air Division.

This airport opened in 1998 in the wake of the Oslo Peace Accords, but Israel shut it down by bombing the control tower and radar in 2001, then bulldozing the runway in 2002. The Palestinian Authority continued to staff the airport, including ticket counters, until 2006, though it was not operational. It had been the home base for Palestinian Airlines, which moved across the border to Egypt after the airport closed.
This airport was adjacent to the Israeli Gush Katif settlements in the Gaza Strip, which were evacuated in 2005 as part of the handover to the Palestinian authority. You can still see the runway in the satellite shot, though there is a building now right near one of the runway thresholds.

On January 30, 2008, a DHC-6 Twin Otter skidded off the runway into a crowd of people while landing, killing one person and injuring others. No one in the plane was hurt:

On January 28, 2008, a Boeing 737 operated by Merpati Nusantara Airlines struck a cow while landing at Mopah airport, damaging an engine. It turns out that the airport is not yet completely fenced in:

The Mosul airport in Iraq reopened to civilian flights on 2 December 2007 -- it had been shut down since 1992 because of the U.S. no-fly zone and then the second Iraq war:
http://www.voanews.com/english/archive/2007-12/2007-12-04-voa9.cfm
The runway is short (1,500 ft) at high elevation (over 9,000 ft), so the airport is accessible only to helicopters and to STOL aircraft like Twin Otters.
The Nepal government plans to rename the airport in honour of Tenzing Norgay and Sir Edmund Hillary, the first people to climb Mt. Everest (the airport serves Everest).

The Hatay area, with a mixed Turkish and Arab population, was assigned to the French mandate of Syria in 1925, but then became independent, and joined Turkey after a referendum in 1939. The independent state of Syria that emerged after the end of the French mandate still disputes the territory, but for now, it's internationally recognized as part of Turkey, and the airport is under Turkish control.
Here's some of the history:

You are completely wrong.
For sure it is Turkey.
It is absolutely Turkey

According to the Wikipedia article, the airport is in operation, but it's not served by any airlines, so I imagine that the traffic is all general aviation.

When will it start operation?

I was actually stationed at Clark Air base back in 1989-1991. I was just coming from Desert Shield/Desert Storm then evacuated a few days later to Subic which was hit harder during the Mt. Pinatubo eruption. It was quite an experience. Perhaps someday soon I will visit my homeland.

XingR: Kai Tak is in the system now:
This airport closed in 1998 and was replaced by the new Hong Kong Intl (HKG). Because it was close to skyscrapers and hills, pilots had to do an irregular approach to runway 13, turning just before a hill covered in a checkered pattern, hence the name "checkerboard approach". Here's a video of a 747 following the approach, taken from the checkered hillside:

Arguably the best international airport in the world, ahead of Hong Kong then Sydney.
And I dare say home to the best airline in the world as well (SQ), which I believe is no coincidence !

According to Wikipedia, Air Philippines, Cebu Pacific, and Philippine Airlines offer flights between Bacolod City and Manila, while Cebu Pacific and PAL Express offer flights between Bacolod City and Cebu.
