:vertical_traffic_light: Why should this airport be added to World of Airports?
If SCL is added, then to keep the balance of two and one runways, a one runway airport would be good as the next airport in South America. We’ve also had a lack of good cargo airports with SXM and LHR, and SYD might be more pax focused too.. With its cargo it could go well with the 77LF, or a 767/767F. It is nicely situated between IAD, SCL, and SXM for player connections, and a little further away M planes from SAN can still reach UIO. I think after SCL, UIO should be the next South American airport.
