Nice Airport map OJ W!  It's cool seeing nothing but runways rendered at a
fairly high zoom

In response to your "aircraft movements per year" idea, it makes sense, but
it's not like airports have a sign outside advertising this information for
us mappers to plug into the database.  Perhaps it's publicly available
online, or it may vary by country.  I think it probably makes most sense to
have a solution that doesn't depend on data which may not be easily
accessible.
