Two Airports with this code?

[edit]

The official IATA code directory says BEM is assigned to Beni Mellal Airport in Morocco. It's likely that the airport is in fact gone, as noted below. --129.119.235.22 (talk) 05:25, 8 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Airport likely gone

[edit]

Airport likely does not exist anymore.
Both OpenMaps and Cloudmade maps (url unavailable, sorry) depict the airstrip running NW/SE, about 300 meters west of the intersection of highways RN1 and RN3, center coordinates of 5°16'1.90"N 17°38'45.49"E.
Both Google Earth/Google Maps and OVI satellite photos show a treeline now on that location, running the same direction as the maps' runway. http://maps.google.com/?ll=5.26709,17.64547&spn=0.087947,0.093813&t=h&z=14 Bossembélé Airport page and entry on the List of airports in the Central African Republic page should be removed.
