I've started a new proposal for Key:aerodrome.
See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Key:aerodrome
This proposal uses aerodrome=* for classification of an
aeroway=aerodrome as an international airport, other commercial
airport, general aviation aerodrome, private aerodrome, or airstrip.
It would deprecate aeroway=airstrip and aerodrome:type=*
Values to be approved:
* aerodrome=international - already common
* aerodrome=commercial - new tag
* aerodrome=general_aviation - new tag (default type)
* aerodrome=private - already common
* aerodrome=airstrip
Currently the IATA code is quite helpful for finding commercial
airports which offer scheduled passenger flights, but a few aerodromes
with an IATA code do not have commercial flights.
It would be helpful to know which airports have international flights,
and the tag aerodrome=international has already been used over 1000
times.
aerodrome=airstrip is better than aeroway=airstrip, because an
airstrip is still a type of aerodrome.
aerodrome=private is already widely used, but I'm also recommending
adding access=*
Comments? I still need to add some examples.
