Can you please add missing aerodrome called: Atlantic Aerodrome (FAAA) in the City of Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa. It's registered on "ourairports.com", but hasn't been synced with Windy.com yet. https://maps.app.goo.gl/x9eUWEtJG2znTiD9A and Coordinates -33.588163,18.618235

@rihankleyn
Is it active?
As I see in the site, the grand opening is scheduled for
26 September 2026 -
@Gkikas-LGPZ Hi, thank you for the reply.
The runway at Atlantic Aerodrome (FAAA) has already been completed, with runway lighting still in works. Construction of the hangars is also currently ongoing, and the first tenants are scheduled to start moving in on 30 April 2026.
The “grand opening” mentioned on the website refers specifically to the opening of the clubhouse/restaurant, not the runway itself. The airfield is already operational for limited aircraft movements.
Would it be possible to add FAAA to Windy.com now with the current status?

@Gkikas-LGPZ Hi again, I just wanted to follow up on my request to add the missing Atlantic Aerodrome to Windy. I can see that Windy’s base map already shows the runway and taxiways, but there is still no marker, name, or pin for the airfield.
I would really appreciate your assistance with this.
Thank you very much.

@rihankleyn Hello, this is related to our not automatic synchronization with ourairports.com. I will discuss this with colleagues.

@Suty Thank you very much, Suty. If you're ever in the area, please pop in at our restaurant!

@Suty Hi Suty. I hope you are well. Any update on the synchronisation of Windy and ourairports.com ? I would really appreciate the assistance getting this shown on windy

@rihankleyn Unfortunately, right now there is no upcoming plan to handle this. I am sorry about that situation.
