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

    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.

    ICAO SBAC: https://aisweb.decea.mil.br/?i=aerodromos&codigo=SBAC

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

    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.
