Nice Airport map OJ W! It's cool seeing nothing but runways rendered at a fairly high zoom<div><br></div><div>In response to your "aircraft movements per year" idea, it makes sense, but it's not like airports have a sign outside advertising this information for us mappers to plug into the database. Perhaps it's publicly available online, or it may vary by country. I think it probably makes most sense to have a solution that doesn't depend on data which may not be easily accessible.</div>

</div>+1 to the general idea - it's frustrating at sites like<br>
<a href="http://ojw.dev.openstreetmap.org/air/" target="_blank">http://ojw.dev.openstreetmap.org/air/</a> not being able to show that<br>
Heathrow is "more important" than some local flying club. Although<br>
someone already mentioned that you can make international flights from<br>
many small places (AIS often seems to mention "customs facilities by<br>
prior arrangement" at places that don't regularly handle international<br>
flights)<br>
<br>
The wikipedia articles for big airports often mention "aircraft<br>
movements per year" or similar stats - perhaps they could be useful in<br>
OSM?<br>
