HEBA airport does not exist?

[paulomoreira]

Hi

Yesterday I created a flight from LFPB to HEBA without problems

Today, when I tried to create the return flight HEBA to LFPB I got this error

Any thoughts ? Also today If I try to create the same flight as yesterday LFPB→HEBA I get the same error saying HEBA does not exists.

Well, in fact for what I see:

X-Plane with Airac 2509 HEBA exists, and the airport diagram has nothing to do with the one HEAX. It exists in fact 2 airports in Alexandria City. Borj El Arab International and Alexandria International.

We don´t (and may not) update airport ICAO codes in the different sims; X-Plane must do this.

Hope that helps

Nope, if you look at the 10-9 chart for HEAX, it mentions the ICAO code change and also the change in airport’s name:

In addition, here airport reference points coordinates for:

• HEBA cycle 2508

HEBA                   N30°55.1'  E029°41.7'

• HEAX cycle 2509

HEAX                   N30°55.1'  E029°41.7'

It’s perfectly possible that there would to be two different airports serving the same city, but if the airports have the exact same location, they typically are not distinct
