Hello everyone,
I got this minor issue which concerns Air France and Cityjet flights to Brive-La Roche airport, LFBV. There are flights to this airport from and to Orly and London City that I can book, however this particular airport is not served anymore from 2011 as the airport has closed. Service shifted to the new airport Brive-Souillac, LFSL, including the Cityjet and HOP! flights. I assume such issues are to be corrected in a future schedules update. But I wished to report this change just in case. Meanwhile I plan that I fly to the new airport, I will put the change in the notes to get it accepted...

btw, see wikipedia for this change: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brive%E2%80%93La_Roche_Airport

Justin,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention, We will look into this as a matter of importance at Senior Staff level and see why our schedules are still using the old airport code. Usually the schedules would update automatically to reflect any airport changes, but in this instance it appears that that process has not worked. i will reply again as soon as we have investigated this issue but in the mean time have opened up a help desk ticket for it.

Okay, great! LFSL is not standard in FS, so I found this scenery for FS9: http://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/fslib.php?searchid=19360751 For FSX you can find it in the Occitania pack: http://occitania.gratisim.fr/fs/fsx.htm

Just out of curiosity, in what way does AFVA synchronize actual Air France-KLM schedules with the VA database? How does that work?

Thanks for any sort of answer!
