Dear Pilots,
I am following the airspace around the Globe, but I have discovered, that Flightradar24 lacks some smaller airports around the World.
For instance, here in Roskilde, Denmark, there's a medium-sized airport called Roskilde Airport (IATA: RKE | ICAO: EKRK).
This airport is used for more special / private flights. Is that why it's not listed on Flightradar24?
Description from their website (http://www.rke.dk/rke/uk/main/):
Roskilde Airport is a small exclusive airport with an attractive location near Copenhagen.
Due to a fast transit time after landing in Roskilde Airport, Copenhagen City is only 30 minutes away.
Every 5 minutes a plane is either landing or taking off - each day of the year - in an airport which is largely used for Business Aviation, but also for local school flights.
Roskilde Airport is owned and operated by the stock market led company Copenhagen Airports A/S, whose primary business is Copenhagen Airport in Kastrup.
I've been in this airport a few times, and find it very interesting.
Therefore it would be great, to have it showing up on Flightradar24 too.
I never see any aircraft taking off / landing in the airport, even though the website says, there is one about every 5 minutes.
I've thought of setting up an ADS-B receiver myself. Would this improve the coverage of those flights, or is the area already covered there?
I know that it could be due to, that some of the flights uses an older radar system, but not all of them, right?
By the way, thanks for this great web service!
I enjoy exploring the airspace daily. :)
