Simbrief is saying that ZUZH (Panzhihua Baoanying Airport) is invalid but volanta recognizes it and its not like its a new airpott it was opened in 2003 and is still operated today under the same icao code ZUZH and the iata PZI.

Hi,  
please see the FAQ here.

> [@FAQ - Missing Airports](https://forum.navigraph.com/t/faq-missing-airports/183):
>
> We derive our FMS Data and Charts from Jeppesen - a professional navdata provider for major airlines worldwide. The airports included depend on which airports are required by their real world customers. With the exception of the old Kai Tak airport at HK, we do not manually add airports to these databases. Note: for Chinese airports, Chinese authorities generally only provide data for international airports.

Cheers  
Richard

Even though a Chinese airport may exist, unless it is published in their International AIP, to external users, the airport does not exist.
