RE: India Asks West To Lift 'night Curfew' At Airports

For US airports, wouldnt it only be of concern to the coastal airports? And even then probably many of those would have at least one runway with an approach over ocean (ie <acronym title="Los Angeles - International (LAX / KLAX), USA - California">LAX</acronym>)? Getting there is one thing, have the...

RE: AirAsiaX-International Flights To Newcastle (NTL)

RE: Is CO On The Verge Of Being A True "intl" Airline?

I thought all you needed to be a true international airline was to tack "international" in your name some where, it seems to be all you need here in the USA to be an "international" airport.

Sarcastic I know, but sometimes it seems like every airport no matter how minor is "international".
