>Description:
In Sept 2006 Thailand moved all flights from the old
Don Muang airport in Bangkok to the new Suvarnabhumi
airport (from north of Bangkok city to east of it).
[Aside: don't pronounce the final 'i'
'Soo-var-na-boom' approximately
the 'var' rhymes with 'car' or 'bar' not 'hair'].
The BKK airport code was moved along with all the flights.
Sometime later, most Thai domestic flights moved back
to Don Muang airport, it has a new airport code "DMK".
Why that happened (flights moving back) isn't an
appropriate topic for a PR...
NetBSD's airport file didn't notice this change (almost
certainly because I didn't think to inform anyone...)
>How-To-Repeat:
By inspection
grep '^BKK' /usr/share/misc/airport
Then do a google search for "BKK" to confirm this message
if you like.
>Fix:
Here's a patch. I've left DMK as "international" as I think
that's its name, even though it has no international flights
remaining that I'm aware of.
