You can change this yourself. On your new Gateway airport, make sure to leave the airport identifier WI1S and make all needed changes in scenery's meta data (name & code).
Airport identifier-code changes are accomplished by re-submitting the airport to the Gateway. The primary (original) X-Plane Airport ID must remain the same, but the appropriate metadata (ICAO, FAA, IATA, etc.) should be inserted (or removed) in WED, and the modified airport uploaded to the Gateway.

Please make corrections to read as Rembele Airport and ICAO code is WITK as I am making a new Getaway airport
Had to use scenery id of the GOOD one as bug report will not let me report any other way! Scenery id WI1S has ICAO of WITK. Therefore scenery id of WITK needs deprecating (id WITK has no scenery and hence no scenery id number)
See my other comments - I have no idea who keeps filing for new airportIDs (or why Julian approves those requests) if there is ALREADY an airportID anchored at that geographical location.
XPlane will go forward with these “wrong” airportIDs into the future indefinitely - there is NO INTENTION to have the airport ID match the ICAO (or any other) real world ID.
So please keep using the “wrong” airport ID and don´t file for new ones in the same location - Julian might not always catch that, but he should reject new requests if there is already ANY OTHER airport ID at that location.
