KHDO (Hondo, TX USA) Shows Flights Operating in India

FlightAware General
1

Anyone know why certain flights operating within India show up under Enroute/Scheduled To KHDO (Hondo,TX) as well as under Scheduled Departures from KHDO (Hondo, TX)? For example, Star Air 187 / SDG187 / S5187 is currently scheduled to operate from VOND / NDC) (Nanded, India) to KHDO (Hondo, TX) on a 1 hour 30 minute flight. History shows it always “diverts” to VIDX (Hindon Air Force Base).

More importantly is there a way for FlightAware to fix this glitch?

It appears that it’s because both airports use the same code. Maybe they should use VOND/KHDO instead of HDO. I don’t know about India, but at least here, the one with the K is international and the other one is local. I’m curious how this is coded. If a local airport code is used, it should default the other (departure vs. arrival location) to also be local, i.e., the closer one. That might be tricky to do programmatically.
