Airport identifier-code changes are accomplished by re-submitting the airport to the Gateway using the original identifier. Place the new identifier in the appropriate metadata data-field in your WED-project (ICAO, FAA, IATA, etc.).
------------
Airport name changes are accomplished by re-submitting the airport to the Gateway. The primary (original) X-Plane Airport ID must remain the same, with the new name in effect.
On Brazil:
1) ICAO of some Airport can change;
2) Old ICAO can migrate to another Airport;
3) The new Airport that receive the old ICAN, has an 3rd ICAO. Maybe, this ICAO migrate to other Airport. Ops: GOTO 2, until ICAO is unused anymore.
if you fix Airport ID with ICAO, the x-plane and users can be in trouble and confused.
Every GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION has to have a unique AIRPORT ID (forget ICAO for a while, please!).
So for an airport in a NEW location, file to get a NEW AIRPORT ID.
You can then assign ICAO ID in the meta data (in WED).
For an OLD airport that is NOT VISIBLE anymore (not even some old runways) you can file for it to get removed from the database.
There is NEVER any migration done by Laminar staff, even if an old airport closes and a new one opens and the ICAO ID “migrates” to the new one.

Hello, I just want know how to fix a problem.
The problem is, we have a RNAV procedure on this airport, so how can I insert the procedure in my aircraft? If I try to find some procedure for SNAT I don't see anything and if I try to put SBAC on DEP/ARR airport it doesn't recognize. I have tried to contact Navigraph about that, but they said it's a problem with X-plane database. So what we do?
The new ICAO code for this airport is SBAC as you can see on https://www.aisweb.aer.mil.br/?i=aerodromos&codigo=SBAC
thanks in advance

This needs to be accomplished by voluntary scenery Gateway artists, the ICAO code can simply be changed in the meta data field in WED.

I do it.
Tks!

The ICAO SNAT already existis, too! How to use that in new airport?

How can I proceed?
Maybe I can open ticket to remove that, and,create new...

Please, change the ID to new ID type, like XSB000...
