Which airport is that, BMK?
Similar thing in Germany - I used to live close to Frankfurt-Hahn in Germany, which is nowhere close to Frankfurt, it was renamed to Frankfurt-Hahn at the request of Ryanair.
Three times I bumped into people asking in which direction to walk to get in to get into Frankfurt - it's a 90 minutes drive...
- jayalpha 8y agoThat is nothing. Try flying to Australia and end up in Canada: https://www.news.com.au/travel/world-travel/north-america/confused-tourist-bound-for-sydney-australia-lands-in-sydney-nova-scotia/news-story/83d1957c3369364b979a9b1371786a3b https://www.news.com.au/travel/world-travel/north-america/co...

- transitorykris 8y agoTo add to the list, there was an attempt to change the name of the Stockton Airport to San Francisco-Stockton Regional Airport. About 80 miles from San Francisco. https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/SFO-objection-grounds-Stockton-airport-name-12303278.php https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/SFO-objection-grounds...
- chiph 8y agoI was there when it was just Hahn AB. When Ryanair & Air France took over after the base was closed [0] and renamed it, I knew something shady was going on. Cheap flight, but then a 2 hour bus ride to Frankfurt am Main. I bet people got angry after being fooled. [0] Which was sad. All the pilots left with their F-16s to go to war, and the base was closed while they were gone, leaving their wives & families to pack up and return to the US.
