:vertical_traffic_light: Why should this airport be added to World of Airports?
This airport would be a great centre for player-player contracts for players who play in the Middle East, Asia and Europe. This airport would be able to receive a great contract selection between the Mediterranean flights and European flights to the Middle East and Africa. This would be a great airport to add because it can bring small airport perks of small ICAO Class aircraft like the Twin-otter ICAO Class A and bring massive airlines like TUI to fly with their ICAO Class E aircraft.

We desperately need one of these holiday airports in Greece or Spain. Bari is good and all at fitting the mould but it lacks being one of these irl.
