   I just added smaller airport. (for now I turned off airport overlay as default since it get a little clutterd but you can turn it on. or you can search the airport code in search bar)

    That's the limitation of current OpenSky api. Most of Chinese airlines data are not in it.

    the airline flight number attached to the icon is in dark color and should be visible, also could switch to satelite view when zoom in, which is dark color

    I can take a look. The current zoom is zooming to screen center. Maybe I should change it to cursor location.

    Currently I developed this for desktop browser, so it might not work well on mobile. But I will improve and update it.
