However, I would recommend, as a temporary solution, searching this airport in the search field and adding it to the favourites, it will save the correct airport with METAR data, etc.

or reported wind.

And when getting the weather history in the weather station details the correct ICAO code ( FAOR ) appears.

It seems that the airports layer data update slower than the other layers.

Yes, but ....
If you click "airports" ...

you get back Tambo Int'l Airport with a location indicator FAJS (wrong) instead of FAOR.

Because of this, when we click on airport's circle
we get "no METAR found"

Clicking the first result gives me this METAR, TAF and meteogram
