And "near" being something like 1 km, since the point that defines the 
airport in different data sources has not always been the same (i.e. towers 
move, rounding, etc.).

Also, a dup of the same IATA/ICAO codes (see existing airports for common 
tagging - they are not always the same since there were multiple imports) 
anywhere within the same country is a dup, too, right?

Unfortunately, this may still result in at least one bad node I know of - 
something like the Southern California Edison Palm Springs Area Heliport, 
which was imported from GNIS near I-15 around Riverside, CA, but does not 
exist (at least nowhere near there from the name).
