[OSM-talk] How to Tag Closed Airport

[Michael Collinson]

One thing to consider is adding some sort of subsidiary tags, such as 
suggested, add closed to the name, but leave the main aeroway tagged for 
a few years. If an airport suddenly disappears from normal map rendering 
there is a natural assumption by map users that OpenStreetMap is in 
error.  I have no strong views on the "correctness" of that, but it is 
pragmatic.
