I know from the interface I can change to a different nearest airport code from the drop down. My nearest airport recently has upgraded to an ICAO designation. Yet this is not available from the drop down. Is there a way to manually change in a database somewhere or do I wait to see if Flightaware updates the drop down some time down the road?
What’s the code change?
Hanover-Saugeen (Hanover, Ontario, Canada) airport. CPN4 is now CYHS.
Realize this is likely low on the priority list, but is it do-able? I see another question from a fellow in Manitoba on the same issue.
Like to see CYHS as an option.
Thanks
Yep, that’s me! Looking for CJA3 to be added – especially since I am Canadian and would like a Canadian choice if possible

Airport has been added. Let me know if that doesn’t fix it.
Yay! Thanks! Morden airport is now on the map
That has CYHS on line as well. Thanks very much for this.
My local (closest municipal airport (just a registered runway) is CKJ2, but of course not in the drop down list in piaware. Is there a way to input this code manually via CLI or ssh etc?
Tnx.
Please send our support team an e-mail at contact@flightaware.com and they can check if the airport needs to be added in our database.
Done. Small municipal airstrip in question does not have the services FlightAware uses as a minimal requirment to be on the list.
Might do some investigation on cost of updating the registration for this site early in the year.
Thanks!
Similar question - I’ve just configured a Piaware feeder and my nearest airport is 1P1, also not in the drop down list. Flightaware has no problem finding this airport when looking for flights on the main site, but I can’t select it in the drop down list for nearest airport for my feeder.
We’re taking a look at this. Not sure about the prioritization yet, but it’s in discussion.
