Hi Yesterday I created a flight from LFPB to HEBA without problems ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/navigraph1/original/3X/e/3/e3f2afe874787d7bc6c118e1e1a80a3150a8dabe.png) Today, when I tried to create the return flight HEBA to LFPB I got this error ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/navigraph1/original/3X/e/f/efaf8625e149d08a439cf75db7f10c3947bdbf82.png) 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 Richard ---

> [@paulomoreira](#): > > It exists in fact 2 airports in Alexandria City. 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: ![Screenshot 2025-09-04 at 18.50.43](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/navigraph1/original/3X/b/2/b29d1b53693ff2d1bd4ce1b3b19549f20ed3e61a.png) In addition, here airport reference points coordinates for: - HEBA cycle 2508 ```plaintext HEBA N30°55.1' E029°41.7' ``` - HEAX cycle 2509 ```plaintext 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 🙂 Regards, Tim ---
