You can add Basel/Mulhouse (BSL) to that list. Usually found on the French-Swiss border, its gone and outsourced itself to Eastern Kazakhstan.

That one's my favorite.

I like it lol, after a quick scan over the list I have here, the following airports I think COULD be wrong:
Lyon Saint Exupery (France)
Cork (Ireland)
Dublin (Ireland)
Kerry County (Ireland)
Milan Linate (Italy)
Rosita (Nicaragua)
Cusco (Peru)
Colombo (Sri Lanka)
Chicago Midway (USA)
Albany (USA)

Those are the ones I found without a N/S or E/W on the end =).

Dublin was corrected.
As for Kerry County, I don't know where your source is but in Ireland its called Kerry (Official aviation name) and Farranfore locally. Same with Knock. Official aviation name is Connaught, real world name Ireland West Airport Knock since their last re brand. Knock is more of a colloquial name.

St. Maarten/SXM is displaced!

I took all the names from Wikipedia (which is where I get most of the information from), and so as not to confuse people about locations I use the airport's location instead of it's name.

Also of interest is how Ireland West Airport Knock got it's name? Have they just given us the words so we can arrange them in any way that suits us?

Milan Malpensa, Italy, is misplaced, it's now located somewhere in NW China.

Could you please include the airport identifier when you list an airport. It makes it easier to fix, especially for lazy people such as myself.

Geneva (GVA) is still showing on the map as being several hundred miles east of the Caspian Sea.

Barcelona (BCN) appears to have moved to have moved into the Balkans.

...and:

MXP-Milan Malpensa: in western China, following in the footsteps of Marco Polo
BIO-Bilbao: striking a blow for Basque independence by migrating to the eastern mid-Atlantic (just north of the Azores)
ORK-Cork: this Cork is bobbing along with the waves in the deep south Atlantic.

Its what you get when you put marketing people in charge...

Colombo (CMB) has decided to move from the Indian Ocean to the North Sea. Also, interestingly enough, I can fly there from MCO in a 737 (says 1513 miles), but it is over 11000 from SIN.

Also, Taipei (TPE) has apparently figured out a new form of independence and has moved south to Indonesia.

Barcelona (BCN),Geneva (GVA), MXP-Milan Malpensa, still requiring quite a long cab journey to their city centers and hotels.

[FlyWorld Air]

Cork (ORK) has rebelled against it's Irish heritage and has moved down towards Antarctica.

Milan Malpensa (MXP) has made it difficult for the Shengen carriers by moving out to Asia.

Barcelona (BCN) has been a Prat by going to Eastern Europe.

Bilbao (BIO)... The next step in the urban renewal sees then move to the mid Atlantic.

And Miller is doing his hardest to fix this.

"Today, there were many riots throughout Europe. We think this is because of the displacement of the cities on the map. Anyways, people are taking action, serious action and reporting it to the leader. This is the current news. YamazaruNinja in Europe, signing out"

"Thanks FlyWorld. Today, the weather is just terrible in the US, specifically the Midwest. There is dense fog and blowing snow. The temperature is below freezing! A lot of flights are being canceled. Be warned when flying through the Midwest. We are getting word that the people in Miami are laughing their heads off because of this. When it happens to them, we'll be laughing twice as hard.

Finally someone stood up to the Mainlanders. Always got irked when people referred to Taiwan as 'Chinese Taipei'. Down with the Reds!

And it appears that after the recent coup attempt back home in the Philippines, the current government decided to move the capital, Manila (MNL), farther east to Subic Bay. Hell, and they were just about to open Terminal 3. I appaud you, GMA! Genius.

YQM - Moncton (New Brunswick, Canada) has gone from obscurity to who knows where....it is showing as 6,161 miles from EWR/Newark

SXM is off.
ORK is off also on the map but the distances between it and other places are correct.
