I am getting ready to fly my bid flight from Sydney to Bangkok (QFA7581) which show landing at the old airport VTBD. I have a nice free scenery of the new airport VTBS loaded into FS9 and was wondering which airport we really use??? I thought VTBD was closed now. In case no answer by morning I will plan on using the new one VTBS.

From research, VTBD is still active so you should fly to that airport unless a need to divert arise. Hope it helps. :wink:

I just looked up the flight on a web site I use allot in planning for where passenger airline flights park at. This cargo flight is in there database http://www.flightstats.com/go/FlightSta ... umber=7581 but they rarely show what spot cargo flights use. Flight Stats shows the flight landing at the new airport "VTBS Suvarnabhumi Airport". For future reference.

Good question. The real schedule says "BKK" which seems to be VTBS now. I think we need to update our airport table to point to the right airport.
