I always found this kind of funny. In a global sense, these European languages are very similar, so it should be completely fine to use only the local names. They remain pronouncable and legible to the English speaker. It's just that there are traditional English names for some cities, and maybe it can be confusing to have to relearn the native one. Maybe it's a small thing to ask the tourists. Contrast this with Japan, where there are not traditional English names for anything, so the same name is heard in announcements in English and Japanese. It's hard to understand but that is just how it is. p.s. Penso che intendevi scrivere "airports", "stations", "names" e "tourists" English is an S-based language :)
